Nancy is hemming a petticoat,

Kitty is ftitching the binding,

Paddy is trying the baking,

the Englifhmans getting his grinding.

My wife fhe went into the barracks,

and I did go to find her,

Who did I find but the Connaught man,

fharping his tools for to grind her.

If ever I marry a woman

I‘ll marry a Welchnans daughter,

I‘ll give her the keys of the gate,

and fhe‘ll open the gate for her father.

I have three fhips on the fea,

and I have no one to mind them,

I‘ll fend for Patrick O‘Neil,

becaufe he‘s a very good grinder.

Once my hair it was grey,

but now its an elegant brown,

The boys they are all gone away,

and will not leave a woman in town.
