“They played Owen the queen the prush of war”
I
They played Owen the queen the prush of war
The falls of the Boyne water
Joanett and Joanoe and the march of Alexander
The blooming sweet cockade the French brigade is coming
Tow row the dow row row
Tow row the dow row maddy
Tow row the dow row row
Right a nurc a naddy

Maureen on the road
Maureen Mhór na nGleanna
Maureen on the road
The flashy rakes to Malla
Aughrims overthrow and the fall of Ballycastle
Brave Sarsfield to command on many a famous battle
Jack with a bottle of punch and the bonny Highland Laddy
They arose in great glee that roaming sporting reel.
And my love he is a dandy
Nóra Críonna he can play with all his variations
He rambles from Tralee and the devil among the tailors
Tow row the dow row row
Tow row the dow, row naddy
Tow row the dow row row
Right a nurc a naddy
