  1. Brighid Clohosey is my name
    Ireland is my nation
    Leugh is my dwelling-place
    And Heaven my expectation.
    when I am dead and in my grave,
    And all my bones are rotten
    This poor book will tell my name
    When I am quite forgotten.

    Tommy Toot, a man of law
    Sold his bed and lay on straw
    Sold his straw and lay on grass
    To buy his wife a looking-glass.

    Dance to your daddy
    My little baby
    Dance to your daddy
    My little lamb.
    We shall have a fishie
    In your little dishie
    When the boat comes in.
