   (I)

   Wont you come to Killion's Maypole, wont you come

   You can have a glass of sherbet and a bun

   If the sherbet isn't nice, you can have a plate of rice

   Wont you come to Killion's Maypole, wont you come

   
   (II)

   Here comes Tom Hislin, the man who keeps the running dog

   And Ellie Mary Kelly who comes from Muckna Bog

   Her cousin Katie Ward who comes from Lissanode

   And also Paddy Early from the Old Bog Road.

   
   (III)

   Here comes Rosie Coffey with her little chocolate box

   And after her comes her cousin and long legs Johnny Foxe

   Here comes "Tully Flier" and she flying in her best

   And after the comes the "Dotie" and also Nanny Quest

   
   (IV)

   Oh here comes Rosie Seery and you can bet a pound

   She danced with every "spiker" from Ballymahon and Balinahown

   And when the pole was over said Davie to McCann

   We'll tip it down and get our tea from Old Maggie Dan
