My love said to me «My mother won’t mind
And my father won’t slight you for your lack of kind.»
He laid his hand on me and this he did say
«It will not be long, Love, till our wedding day.»
He went away from me and he moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him move here and move there
He made his way homeward with one star awake
Like a swan in the evening moves over the lake

Fine friends and companions
come join me in rhyme
come lift up your voices
in chorus with mine
come lift up your voices,
all grief to refrain
for we may or might never
all meet here again

I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I,
Their armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
And one sang high and the other sang low
And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
And there was a cry from around the door
