   And I plough without much labour The Barley I sow the harvest I reap And collect it into the barn Id sweep the floor and thresh for more On the Banks of Carraige Báine ………………………….. 5/ Do bfearr liom féin ná Eire beo Agus ná saidhbhreas rí na Spáinne Dá bhfacthas riamh de maithe an tsaoghal Go beinn se ag ól do shláinte Id rather than the ancient star Or Alexander's treasure Or this and that as I said before That we'd be joined together You and I to be lawfully wed With the consent of our parents Each night we'd meet how sweet wed kiss On the Banks of Carraige Báine
