If you want a spell my boys
Come along with me.

To the fair of sweet Larg-e.

Seán he keeps the tabhairne
Good liquor he keeps in store.
And the way he made his money
Was with the waters of Poll Mór.

The mistress stands behind the bar
So you may sail along.
I think the room is large enough,
And we shall have a song.

Well mixed with Poll Mór.
