    Be Irish ever more.
    Sure well you know dear mother,
    Although I'm going away,
    I'll not disown my native land,
    Not to my dying day.
    A leanbh bocht, a grádh mo chroidhe,
    How noble is your heart,
    In days to come, a leanbh bocht,
    I hope you'll take your part.
    Your father is above in bed,
    From him go take your leave,
    For his days are nearly over now,
    He's trembling on the grave.
    Alas! my poor old father,
    I'll kiss him 'ere I go,
    Slán leat a mháthair dílis
    Agus mo bheannacht leat go deó.
    Since that bitter parting came,
    A dreary year has fled,
    Old Máire is a widow now,
    her poor old Pat is dead.
