    Where would I send my love
    Oh daughter dear I'm not sever
    Here is one thousand pounds
    And send Reilly off to America
    To purchase there some grounds.

    To Reilly then she ran saying
    Here is to you one thousand pounds
    My mama sent to you
    And sail away off to America
    And I will follow you
    Its when he got the money
    Next day he sailed away
    And when he got his foot on board

    Here is a true lovers token
    And I'll break it into two
    You'll have my ring and half my heart
    Until I find out you
