The leech groaned loud, "Come, tell me this,

Killeevy, O Killeevy!

By all thy hopes of weal and bliss,

Has Sir Turlough given the fatal kiss?"

By the bonnie green woods of Killeevy.

"The banshee's cry is loud and long,

Killeevy, O Killeevy!

At eve she weeps her funeral song,

And it floats on the twilight breeze along,

By the bonnie green woods of Killeevy.
