   1.
   Young men and maidens, I pray lend an ear,
   Too hear the sad fate of two lovers so dear,
   Charming young Betsy of Ballintownbray,
   The Lord of the moorland that led her astray.

   Our hills and high mountains he rode with great speed
   Until he arrived at the noontime of day
   At the cot of young Beetsy of Ballintownbray

   This young lord advanced to afford him relief,
   He begged that he'd tell him the cause of his grief

   5.

   And now she lies low in sweet Ballintownbray
   Her hair was as fair as the lily or swan
   A bongie a lass as the sun o'er shone on

   'Twas all by the cause of a young man who led her astray
   And left her far far from sweet Ballintownbray
