Amhrán Eile (continued)
“When first in this country I came as a stranger”
(continued from previous page)4.
If I had all the riches that's in East or West Indias
Or if I had all the gold that's in the queens store.
I would give it to you, unto you my nice darling girl.
For there's no other creature in the earth I adore.
5.
And now since I gained her, I'm contented for ever
Ill pout rings on her fingers and rings on her ears.
With diamonds and pearls I'll dress my brown girl
She's the sweetest and fairest that ever you know.
