  1. I
    There is a spot in Dromahair
    I never can pass by
    For 'tis there they have the photograph
    Of Sarah Kate and I.
    II
    Its now we bought a motor car
    Its all the latest style
    And we go round from town to town
    Sweet Sarah Kate and I.
    III
    Into Gillmor's shop we went
    Some blankets for to buy
    To see if they were long enough
    For Sarah Kate and I
    IV
    Next into the butcher's shop we went
    Some mutton for to buy
    But for good luck, we bought a duck
    Sweet Sarah Kate and I.
    V
    Next into the chemist's shop, we went
    Some perfume for to buy
    And coming home, the bottle spilt
    On Sarah Kate and I.
