Come rise up lovely Sweeney and give your horse some hay
And give to him a feed of oats before you go away
Don't feed him on soft turnips Take him down to my green lawn
And then you might be able to plough the Rocks of Bawn

I wish the king of England would write for me in time.
And place me in some Regiment all in my youth and prime.
I'de fight for Ireland's glory from the clear day light till dawn
And I never would return back to plough the Rocks of Bawn.
