| AUTUMN | B |
| A GOOD stay at home season is Autumn then there's | C |
| work to be joined in by all | D |
| Though the fawns where the brackens make covert may range away undeterred | E |
| The stags that were lone upon hillocks now give heed to the call | D |
| To the bellowing call of the hinds and they draw back to the herd | E |
| - | |
| A good stay at home season is Autumn the brown world's marked into fields | F |
| The corn is up to its growth the acorns teem in the wood | G |
| By the side of the down fallen fort even the thorn bush yields | F |
| A crop and there by the rath the hazel nuts drop from a load | H |
| - | |
| SPRING | I |
| Now coming on Spring the days will be growing | I |
| And after Saint Bride's Day my sail I will throw | J |
| Since the thought has come to me I fain would be going | I |
| Till I stand in the middle of the County Mayo | J |
| - | |
| The first of my days will be spent in Claremorris | F |
| And in Balla beside it I'll have drinking and sport | K |
| To Kiltimagh then I will go on a visit | L |
| And there I can tell you a month will be short | K |
| - | |
| I solemnly swear that the heart in me rises | F |
| As the wind rises up and the mists break below | J |
| When I think upon Carra and on Gallen down from it | M |
| The Bush of the Mile and the Plains of Mayo | J |
| - | |
| Killeadean's my village and every good's in it | M |
| The rasp and blackberry to set to one's tooth | N |
| And if Raftery stood in the midst of his people | O |
| Old age would go from him and he'd step to his youth | N |
