    VIIII
    Then out from his scabbard
    A small sword he drew
    And with a heart unrelenting
    He pierced his breast through
    And as he was dying
    Those words he did say
    Lay me down by young Betsy
    Of Ballintownbray
    X
    All things were got ready
    And the grave it was made
    And down by young Betsy
    This young lord was laid
    So all ye fair maidens
    From your cot do not stray
    Or you'll think of young Betsy
    Of Ballintownbray.
