translation
i Am A Boy From Ireland And I'd Coax A Nice Young Girl,
i Wouldn't Ask For A Dowry With Her, I'm Rich Enough Myself,
i Own Cork, Big As It Is Both Sides Of The Glen And Tyrone,
and If I Don't Change My Ways I'll Be The Heir For County Mayo.

cow Herding, My Leo, I Did Not Never Practice,
but Playing And Drinking With New Young Women By The Mountain.
if I Lost My Wealth And I Don't Think I Lost My Sense,
and Your Kiss Is No More To Me Than A Show Worn For A Year.

my Love And Treasure, Don't Marry The Old Grey Man,
but Marry A Young Man, My Leo, Even Though He Lives But A Year,
or You'll Still Be Without A Daughter Or Son Above You,
crying In The Afternoon Or In The Morning Hard.
