So pray give me yours in return.

Mavourneen, mavourneen,

Oh! pray give me yours in return.

I’ve built me a neat little cot, darling,

I’ve pigs and potatoes in store;

I’ve twenty good pounds in the bank, love,

And may be, a pound or two more.

It’s all very well to have riches,

But I’m such a covetous elf,

I can’t help still sighing for something,
