  1. Song - The Slaney-Side

    The Slaney - Side
    i
    I am a rambling hero,
    In love I am ensnared,
    Near to the town of Wexford
    There dwells a fair maid.
    ii
    She was fairer than Diana,
    She was free from earthly pride,
    She would make a man become her Slave
    Down by the Slaney - side.
