To buy my love a sword of steel,

Go-thee-thu, mavourneen slaun!

Shule, shule, shule agra!

Only death can ease my woe,

Since the lad of my heart from me did go,

Go-thee-thu, mavourneen slaun.

But when King James was forced to flee,

The Wild Geesef spread their wings to sea,

And bore mabouchal *** far from me,

Go-thee-thu, mavourneen slaun!
