DAUGHTER-
O Mylecharaine, where gott'st thou thy store ?
Lonely didst thou leave me;
FATHER-
Did I not get it in the Curragh, deep, deep enough ?
And lonely didst thou leave me.
DAUGHTER-
O Mylecharaine, where got'st thou thy stock ? ,*
Lonely didst thou leave me;
FATHER-
Did I not get it in the Curragh between two blocks ?
And lonely didst thou leave me.
DAUGHTER-
O Mylecharaine, where gott'st thou what's shine ?*
Lonely didst thou leave me;
FATHER-
Did I not get it in the Curragh between two sods ?
And lonely didst thou leave me.
I gave my web of tow and my web of flax,
Lonely didst thou leave me
And I gave my ox for the daughter's dower,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
DAUGHTER-
O father, O father, I am now ashamed,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
Thou art going to church in white carranes,t
And lonely didst thou leave me.
O father, O father, look at my smart shoes,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
And thou going about in thy white carranes,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
Yes, one carrane black, and the other one white,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
O Mylecharaine going to Douglas on Saturday,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
Yes, two pair of stockings, and one pair of shoes,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
Thou didst wear, Mylecharaine, in fourteen years,
Lonely didst thou leave me.
FATHER-
O damsel, O damsel, thou needs's not be ashamed
Lonely didst thou leave me;
For I have in my chest what will cause thee to laugh,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
CURSE-
My seven bitter curses on thee, O Mylecharaine
Lonely didst thou leave me;
For thou'rt the first man who to women gave dower,
And lonely didst thou leave me. ~
A curse on each man that rears a daughter,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
As did Juan Drummey and Mylecharaine,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
For Juan Drummey got the wealth on the hill,
Lonely didst thou leave me;
Mylecharaine got the wealth on the flat,
And lonely didst thou leave me.
