| Would float like light between | A |
| My toils and me my own my true | M |
| My Dark Rosaleen | A |
| My fond Rosaleen | A |
| Would give me life and soul anew | A |
| A second life a soul anew | A |
| My Dark Rosaleen | A |

| O the Erne shall run red | N |
| With redundance of blood | F |
| The earth shall rock beneath our tread | N |
| And flames wrap hill and wood | O |
| And gun peal and slogan cry | P |
| Wake many a glen serene | A |
| Ere you shall fade ere you shall die | P |
| My Dark Rosaleen | A |
| My own Rosaleen | A |
| The Judgement Hour must first be nigh | P |
| Ere you can fade ere you can die | P |
| My Dark Rosaleen | A |
