Killeevy, O Killeevy!

And the bride she sleeps in her lonely bed,

The fairest corpse among the dead,

By the bonnie green woods of Killeevy.

The wreaths of virgin-white are laid,

Killeevy, O Killeevy!

By virgin hands o'er the spotless maid;

And the flowers are strewn, but they soon

will fade,

By the bonnie green woods of Killeevy.
