In Ireland o’er the say.

“‘He be askin’ all manner of beastie and bird,

And faix! they be comin’, I give ye me word;

In Ireland, in Ireland,

In Ireland o’er the say,

The rabbit would come wid his new shillelagh,

The fox and the goat would be footin’ it gaily,

The squirrel be there wid his bush for a taily,

In Ireland o’er the say.
