A gaunt built woman and her son in law	A
A broad faced fellow with such flesh as shows	B
Nothing but easy nature and his wife	C
The woman s daughter who spills all her talk	D
Out of a wide mouth but who has eyes as gray	E
As Connemara where the mountain ash	F
Shows berries red indeed they enter now	G
Our country singers	H
Sing my good woman sing us some romance	I
That has been round your chimney nooks so long	J
Tis nearly native something blown here	K
And since made racy like yon tree I might say	E
Native by influence if not by species	L
Shaped by our winds You understand I think	M
I ll sing the song sir	N
To night you see my face	O
Maybe nevermore you ll gaze	P
On the one that for you left his friends and kin	Q
For by the hard commands	R
Of the lord that rules these lands	R
On a ship I ll be borne from Cruckaunfinn	Q
Oh you know your beauty bright	S
Has made him think delight	S
More than from any fair one he will gain	Q
Oh you know that all his will	T
Strains and strives around you till	T
As the hawk upon his hand you are as tame	U
Then she to him replied	V
I ll no longer you deny	Q
And I ll let you have the pleasure of my charms	W
For to night I ll be your bride	V
And whatever may betide	V
It s we will lie in one another s arms	W
You should not sing	X
With body doubled up and face aside	V
There is a climax here It s we will lie	Q
Hem passionate And what does your daughter sing	X
A song I like when I do climb bare hills	Y
Tis all about a hawk	D
No bird that sits on rock or bough	G
Has such a front as thine	Q
No king that has made war his trade	Z
Such conquest in his eyne	Q
I mark thee rock like on the rock	A2
Where none can see a shape	B2
I climb but thou dost climb with wings	C2
And like a wish escape	B2
She said	D2
And like a wish escape	B2
No maid that kissed his bonny mouth	E2
Of another mouth was glad	F2
Such pride was in our chieftain s eyes	G2
Such countenance he had	F2
But since they made him fly the rocks	H2
Thou creature art my quest	I2
Then lift me with thy steady eyes	G2
If then to tear my breast	I2
She said	D2
If then to tear my breast	I2
The songs they have	J2
Are the last relics of the feudal world	K2
Women will keep them byzants doubloons	G2
When men will take up songs that are as new	Q
As dollar bills What song have you young man	Q
A song my father had sir It was sent him	L2
From across the sea and there was a letter with it	M2
Asking my father to put it to a tune	Q
And sing it all roads He did that in troth	N2
And five pounds of tobacco were sent with the song	J
To fore reward him I ll sing it for you now	Q
The Baltimore Exile	O2
The house I was bred in ah does it remain	Q
Low walls and loose thatch standing lone in the rain	Q
With the clay of the walls coming through with its stain	Q
Like the blackbird s left nest in the briar	N
Does a child there give heed to the song of the lark	P2
As it lifts and it drops till the fall of the dark	P2
When the heavy foot kine trudge home from the paurk	P2
Or do none but the red shank now listen	Q
The sloe bush I know grows close to the well	Q2
And its long lasting blossoms are there I can tell	Q2
When the kid that was yeaned when the first ones befell	Q2
Can jump to the ditch that they grow on	Q
But there s silence on all Then do none ever pass	G2
On the way to the fair or the pattern or mass	G2
Do the gray coated lads drive the ball through the grass	G2
And speed to the sweep of the hurl	R2
O youths of my land Then will no Bolivar	N
Ever muster your ranks for delivering war	S2
Will your hopes become fixed and beam like a star	T2
Will they pass like the mists from your fields	G2
The swan and the swallows the cuckoo and crake	P2
May visit my land and find hillside and lake	P2
And I send my song I ll not see her awake	P2
I m too old a bird to uncage now	Q
Silver s but lead in exchange for songs	G2
But take it and spend it	M2
We will And may we meet your honor s like	P2
Every day s end	U2
A tune is more lasting than the voice of the birds	G2
A song is more lasting than the riches of the world	K2
