    Your lovers all both great and small. Thats of a good intention
    Come listen to my theme of joy that I have lately mentioned
    Its of a lady fair from Loch Erne shore
    In search of her I'll go
    From Dublin town for higher renown to London she did sail

    It been on a Summer season convient to a hurling stream

    She is the pride of Loch Erne's shores
    And the fairest of all creatures.
