    Come all you lads and lassies
    Come listen unto me
    And i'll sing yous a verse or two
    Of my sad destiny.
    I went to Carrick (Carrickmacross) market
    To a place they call 'the stand'.
    For six long months I lived there
    With Brady of Kilan.
    As I went home next morning.
    As you can plainly see.
    He gave me eggs and bacon.
    And he then shook hands with me.
    You are welcome here dear Johnnie
    And you are with a decent man
    And a hard days work you will never get
    With Brady of Kilan.
