  1. Amhrán (continued)

    Bhí cailín uair amháin agus bhí sí ingrádh le táiliúir

    (continued from previous page)
    Do cuirfeadh an síol sa Mhárta
    Do shábhálfadh é sa bhfóghmhar
    Ach an táiliúirín 'sa tsnáthad
    Ag árnán ó ló go ló"
    "O hold your tongue dear Mother
    In love my heart is broke
    I'd rather marry the tailor
    Than all King David's gold
    The wealth of happy England
    Its on him I'd bestow
    For I'd reign through hills and Valleys
    With the one I do adore"
