Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC AADDCC AAEECC| Never did I find me mate for charmin' an' delightin' | A |
| Never one that had me bate for courtin' an' for fightin' | A |
| A white moon at the crossroads then and Denny with the fiddle | B |
| The parish round admirin' when I danced down the middle | B |
| Up the earth and down again me like you'd not discover | C |
| Arrah for the times before me dancin' days were over | C |

| Never was a moon so low it didn't find me courtin' | A |

| You'd sooner get a fight or song be callin' upon rabbits | E |
| Faith I'd change the lot for one rejoicin' rantin' rover | C |
| The like of me myself before me dancin' days were over | C |
