Unpublished Irish Ballads - An Old Ballad (continued)
“On Pleasant Sunday as I took a ramble ¶ Down by the Banks of the Dripsey Side.”
(continued from previous page)Ag géilleadh dom rún a bheith n-a luighe gan mé
Gurbh é mo léan gan bheith sínte im léine
Leis an gcailín níata atá ar an muilleann t-soir.
- Lá dá rabhas sa ngleann am aonar
Ag fíadhac go tréan agus mo choin lem thaoibh
I spied a damsel with handsome features
And she dressed most neatly beyond the Queens.
Bhí sgáth na leacain ar dath na rósaí
Do binne a glór ná na ceólta sídhe
Her loving friendship goes through my nature
And I'd wish her dearly to live with me.

Gur bean me a traochadh le tearmaibh dlighe
And if you do join me we'll soon release them
And we'll set --------------- at liberty
Tá flít (fleet) Franncach anall thar sáile
Anois 'nár n-aonar gus cabróchaidh linn
Our Catholic Boys will without alarm
Break these cursed laws of our (boys) Tyranny - Informant
