Drunkeness for life I forego
Strong ale I will taste never more
Since I lost my pretty young maid
Who would plenish my pockets with riches

Chorus:
I long for her from me, from me
I long for her from me since leaving me
I long for her above and below me
The curly-haired Molly Nee Chull-in-an

I'll build a house on the hill
And four speckled cows I'll own
I'll allow no other person near them
'Til the arrival of young Molly Nee Chull-in-an

(Chorus)

If I were in the last throes of death
And people could see no recovery
I'd never dictate my last will
'Til the arrival of fair Molly Nee Chull-in-an

(Chorus)

I happened one day in the woods
And I met a charming young maiden
She'd make a corpse come alive
And a lovely young man of an old fellow

(Chorus)

I long for her above and below me
The curly-haired Molly Nee Chull-in-an
