    My name is Patrick Sheehan
    And my age is thirty four. Tippary is my native place Not far from galty more
    I came of honest parents
    And now they are lying low
    And many a pleasant day i spent
    In the glens of Aherlow
    My father died and closed his eyes
    Out side our cabin door
    The land-lord and the Sherrif
    Were there the day before
    Although my loving mother]
    And sisters three or four
    Were first to with broken
    To the glens of Aherlow
