    A Ballad
    Ainm an Aithriseóra: S Ó Siocfhradha (nach maireann)
    Now Lads and Lasses come listen to me.
    I’ll sing a few verses both cheerful and free.
    Of a Cork young lass and a Glenbeigh Boy.
    And they called him the Phillipine soldier.
    2.
    Twas at Puck Fair they first met
    For Glasgow city on his way he was bent
    They drank away to their hearts content.
    Herself and her Phillipine soldier.
