  1. The Poachers

    I
    oh I come from Castleisland where they shoot the men by night
    But yet I am no moonlighter for it ne'er was my delight
    Yet there is just another game for which Ive gained renown
    And that is going a poaching when the sun goes down
    Chorus
    Sometimes I stop at home when not upon a spree
    More times I take my lodgings in the Barracks of Tralee
    And sometimes I play my fiddle round about the town
    But Poaching is my practise when the sun goes down
