| O many a day have I made good ale in the glen | B |
| That came not of stream or malt like the brewing of men | B |
| My bed was the ground my roof the green wood above | C |
| And the wealth that I sought one far kind glance from my Love | C |
| - | |
| Alas on that night when the horses I drove from the field | D |
| That I was not near from terror my angel to shield | D |
| She stretch'd forth her arms her mantle she flung to the wind | E |
| And swam o'er Loch Lene her outlaw'd lover to find | E |
| - | |
| O would that a freezing sleet wing'd tempest did sweep | F |
| And I and my love were alone far off on the deep | F |
| I'd ask not a ship or a bark or a pinnace to save | G |
| With her hand round my waist I'd fear not the wind or the wave | G |
| - | |
| 'Tis down by the lake where the wild tree fringes its sides | H |
| The maid of my heart my fair one of Heaven resides | H |
| I think as at eve she wanders its mazes among | I |
| The birds go to sleep by the sweet wild twist of her song | J |
