    “One day on my travels to Ballisodare”

    i
    One day on my travels to Ballisodare.
    I met a fair lass and her combing her hair
    I asked her so kindly would she come astore.
    And take a trip with me to Culleenamore
    ii
    She answered me modestly kindly and gay.
    Indeed in she said I will go the whole way.
    Indeed in said she I would go twenty mile more.
    To see the race horses in Culleenamore.
    iii
    The first tent we met we both rambled in
    There was Nancy and Peggy and Judy McLynn
    There was ale wine and porter and whiskey galore
