MYLECHARAINE

O MYLECHARAINE, where got you your gold?
Lone, lone, you have left me here;
Was it not in the Curragh, deep under the mould ?
Lone, lone, and void of cheer.

O Mylecharaine, where got you your stock ?
Lone, lone, you have left me here;
Was it not in the Curragh, under a block
Lone, lone, and void of cheer.

O Mylecharaine, where got you your goods?
Lone, lone, you have left me here.,
Was it not in the Curragh, under two sods?
Lone, lone, and void of cheer.
