The pretty young girl on a popular I
My heartache Mhaidne sorry I do not meet her
When I go to the drinking house, to dance, or sports
But'd follow her trail on the average night time '

Chorus:
As you are the young man enough shiúlfas
Get me a jewel to me as a woman who
Do santaigh forever property of sheep or cow
I'll charm you like it

Young friendly either indifferently or grief
Smart enough for all sheort not
Tuicsneach very nice without too much pride
While my darling if she had not a penny

(Chorus)

Have a spotless reputation in the in capacity
A clean heart and a gentle demeanor
Without gangaid or grain in their mouth words
The smile on her face from her morning to night

(Chorus)

I'll charm you like it
