    I am a young fellow that ran out of lands and means
    Cailleach sa baile 'gam ná tabhardadh mé bean ná spré
    I placed my affections on one that had gold in store
    Do gheallas dom ionmhain go leanfainn í féin go beo
    II
    We made up our minds with each other to elope,
    Is do chuineas mo chapall i gcoinnibh mo mhíle stór.
    I met my true lover about the appointed place
    Is í ag tarrach go Caiseal i sobar i meadhon an lae.

    'Tis then I accosted this Juneful joyful day
    Míallait a cheannuig aici agus mo chapaill ba árd í a léim.
    We being in a hurry I asked her to mount the mare.
    Sé dubhairt sí "Fan socair taim cortha is ólfad braon.
