Now these two are married together,
Married together, married together;
Now these two are married together,
I pray love, kiss again.

—Isle of Man (A. W. Moore).

IV.

Here’s a silly ould man that lies all alone,
That lies all alone, that lies all alone;
Here’s a silly ould man that lies all alone,
He wants a wife and he can get none.

Now young couple you’re married together,
You’re married together, you’re married together;
You must obey your father and mother,
And love one another like sister and brother.
I pray, young couple, you’ll kiss together.

—Carleton’s Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, p. 107.

V.

Silly old man, he walks alone,
Walks alone, walks alone;
Silly old man, he walks alone,
Wants a wife and he canna get one.

All go round and choose your own,
Choose your own, choose your own;
All go round and choose your own,
Choose a good one or let it alone.

Now he’s got married and tied to a peg,
Tied to a peg, tied to a peg;
Now he’s got married and tied to a peg,
Married a wife with a wooden leg.
