   A Song. When I rise in the morning and my heart full of woe I'm thinking of old Erin and the County Mayo What shall become of me or where shall I go In the midst of all dangers I cry Och! oh no And I'm thinking of old Erin and the County Mayo. Nuair eirgheann sé maidin agus mé broónach ar nobigh Is mé ag coimhneamh ar Éire agus ar Chonndae Mhuigheó Tuarir chuimhnigh ar na gaobhtha is are mairgh leábhia bó Nuair luigheann sé ar mo leaba go Faider bedir Is mé ag cuimhreamh ar Éire agus an Chonndae Mhugheó.
