“There was a man in Dublin Dee...”
There was a man in Dublin Dee
He set a garden full of seed
When the seed began to grow
Like a garden full of snow
When the snow began to melt

When the bird began to fly
Like a needle in the sky
When the sky began to fall

Like a fairy in the hill
When the fairy began to dance
Like a woman going to France
Three shots of a gun
Three sticks across the wall
The Lord have mercy on us allRann
