| A
shepherd that lives on Slieve Gullion An Ulster man I'm proud to be from Antrim's glens I come Arrah, sons of green Erin, I'll give you a song At length brave Michael Dwyer, you and your trusty men Believe me if all those endearing young charms, Come all you airy bachelors, a warning take by me For sake of health I took a walk last week at early dawn God bless the gray mountains of dark Donegal, Good men and true! In this house who dwell, Here's a health to sweet Erin! Hurrah! 'tis done - our freedom's won I am a young fellow that's easy and bold I am one of those jolly young lads from the cross I know my love by his way of walking I was working in the fields near fair Boston City, I'm sitting on the stile, Mary, In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan Ireland! Rejoice, and England! Deplore It was on the Belfast mountains I heard a maid complain |

friends the grief I cannot tell Let Britain boast her British hosts, about them all right little care Lift MacCahir Og your face Limerick is beautiful Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning, My Mary dear! For thee I die, My name it is Hugh Reynolds, I come from honest parents, Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down Not far from old Kinvara, in the merry month of May Och hone! And is it true then that my love is coming back again? Och! Patrick darlin' would you lave me, Of all the nations under the sun Oh I went to school to Darby Tool, Oh! The banks of the Lee, the banks of the Lee Oh! The marriage, the marriage Oh! Weep those days the penal days Oh, have you not heard of McCarty, Once there was a Cymric nation One evening fair to take the air, alone I chanced to stray |

it out till it ring Sure it is not at reading and writing The church in Dungannon is full to the door The first morning of March in the year '33 The winter it is past, There is an old tradition held in Wexford town There's a far-famed Blackwater that runs to Loch Neagh There's one fair county in Ireland They may talk of Flying Childers, and the speed of Harkaway Tim Finigan lived in Walker street, To Donnybrook steer, all you sons of Parnassus 'Twas near Limerick town lived bould Paddy O'Linn, We've bent too long to braggart wrong When on Ramillie's bloody field, You lads that are funny, and call maids your honey |
