Ah had you seen the CoolunA
Walking down by the cuckoo's streetB
With the dew of the meadow shiningC
On her milk white twinkling feetB
My love she is and my colleen oacute gD
And she dwells in Bal'nagarE
And she bears the palm of beauty brightF
From the fairest that in Erin areE
-
In Bal'nagar is the CoolunA
Like the berry on the bough her cheekG
Bright beauty dwells foreverE
On her fair neck and ringlets sleekG
Oh sweeter is her mouth's soft musicH
Than the lark or thrush at dawnA
Or the blackbird in the greenwood singingC
Farewell to the setting sunA
-
Rise up my boy make readyD
My horse for I forth would rideI
To follow the modest damselJ
Where she walks on the green hill sideI
For ever since youth were we plightedI
In faith troth and wedlock trueE
Oh she's sweet ecirc r to me nine times overE
Than organ or cuckooE
-
For ever since my childhoodI
I loved the fair and darling childI
But our people came between usK
And with lucre our pure love defiledI
Oh my woe it is and my bitter painA
And I weep it night and dayI
That the colleen b aacute n of my early loveL
Is torn from my heart awayI
-
Sweetheart and faithful treasureE
Be constant still and trueE
Nor for want of herds and housesM
Leave one who would ne'er leave youE
I'll pledge you the blessed BibleJ
Without and eke withinA
That the faithful God will provide for usK
Without thanks to kith or kinA
-
Oh love do you rememberE
When we lay all night aloneA
Beneath the ash in the winter stormN
When the oak wood round did groanA
No shelter then from the storm had weD
The bitter blast or sleetI
But your gown to wrap about our headsO
And my coat round our feetI
