    III
    The young lord awoke
    Like a man in surprise
    Yes it is the sweet voice
    Of young Betsy that cries
    And if she is dead
    As this vision now say
    I will lie by her side
    In sweet Ballintownbray.

    He called for his servants
    To saddle his stud
    And o'er hills and high mountain
    He rode at great speed
    Until he arrived at the noontide
    Of day
    At the cot of young Betsy
    of Ballintownbray
