Éirigí suas a thogha na bhfear Is cuirigí píce ar bharr gach cléith Leagaigí síos iad lucht an droch-chroí Agus cuirigí dlí na Fraince ar bun
Curfá: Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort? Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach Ó bhean an tí Ó bhean an tí, nach suairc é sin?
Tá jug ar an bhord is tá beoir ag teacht Tá arm go leor ag an Duke of York Tá an Francach is an Spáinneach ar bhruach na trá Agus b'fhearr liom go mór é ná cómhra ban
Ó shuigh mise síos 's mo mhian le m'ais Ag ól mo cháirt dí mar dheanfad fear Sé dúirt bean a' tí den chomhrá mhín Gan airigead síos bí gabháil amach
Ó tharraing mé aníos mo phíosa brac Nach mairg a bhíos gan é, mo chreach Do labhair sí arís go carthannach caoin Nach súifidh tú síos tá siamsa ar fad ort
Mo chreach is mo chrá nuair a bhí mé beag In aois mo dhá bhliain sular smaoinigh mé ar olc Nach ndeachaigh mé ar bord nó in arm an Rí Sular chaith mé mo shaol ag dul timpeall ort
Rise up, ye stalwart men And put the pitch alight on your torch sticks Vanquish those who would do us evil And establish the rule of France
Chorus (after each verse): And oh woman of the house, what ails you? Oh woman of the house, in two years or three From this year out the land will be rent free Oh woman of the house Oh woman of the house, isn't that pleasant?
Here's a jug on the table and the beer's coming And the Duke of York has sufficient arms The French and the Spaniards at the shore's edge And how bitter that is than woman's chatter
From sat down and my desire to m'ais Drinking my Charter will I drink like a man He said the woman of the house of gentle conversation Without airigead be shot down out
Since I pulled up my piece bracket Woe I was not without my ruin She was again a cry charitable Do not you sit down you are all entertainment
Alas and alack when I was young Two years old and no evil thought in my mind That I didn't join the King's navy or army Instead of spending my life looking after you
