Lyrics:

T� mo chleamhnas 'a dh�anamh inniu agus inn�
'S n� m� n� go dtaitn�onn an bhean uda� liom f�in
Ach fu�gfidh m� mo dhiaidh �, 's rachaidh m� leat f�in
S�os f�na coille craobhaigh

A match was a-making here last night
And it isn't with the girl that I love the best
I'll leave her behind and I'll go along with you
Down by the banks of the ocean

'Mo codladh go h-eadarshuth b'aite liom f�in
Leaba� luachair a bheith faoi mo thaobh
Buideal branda� a bheith faoi mo cheann
'S mo chail�n deas �g 'bheith ar l�mh' liom

Sleeping to milking time is my delight
A bed of green rushes underneath my side
A bottle of brandy underneath my head
And a charming young maid in my arms

Shi�il mise thoir agus shi�il mise thiar
Shi�il mise Corcaigh 'gus sr�ideanna Bhaile' Cliath
Macasamhail mo chail�n n� fhaca mise riamh
'S� 'n bhean � a d'fh�g mo chro� cr�ite

Oh I walked east and I walked west
I walked Cork and Dublin's streets
An equal to my love I didn't meet
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
