Irish

English

I went to the fair and sold my cow
For five pounds of silver and a yellow guinea of gold
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
Oh what is that to anyone else?
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
Oh what is that to anyone else?

If I go to the leafy woods gathering berries or chestnuts
Plucking apples from branches or herding cows
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing
Oh what is that to anyone else?
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing
Oh what is that to anyone else?

If I go for a night-visit and for dancing and sport
To fairs and races and every gathering of that sort
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them
Oh what is that to anyone else?
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them
Oh what is that to anyone else?

People say I'm without riches no doubt
Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock
If I am happy living in a hovel
Oh what is that to anyone else?
If I am happy living in a hovel
Oh what is that to anyone else?
