    I am a young man and in my bloom
    I'm scarcely twenty-five
    I never injured any men as long as I'm alive
    In youthful days of manhood
    I must yield up my life
    Unto the Blessed Virgin's hands
    Both mother, maid, and wife.

    God help my two young sisters
    That witness so much grief
    God comfort my poor parents
    And grant to them relief
    Good-Bye to all my dearest friends
    Around my native place
    And when my spirit is at rest
    Don't throw me in their place
