WILLY RILLY.

up Willy Rilly,

and come along with me,

I mean for to go with you,

and leave this country:

I will leave my father’s dwelling,

his houses and free lands

And away goes Willy Rilly

and his fair Colin Bawn.

Over hills and lofty mountains,

and many a lonesome place;

Thro' many a grove and valley

her company to obtain

Her father followed after them,

with a well armed ban’,

And taken was poor Rilly,

and his fair Colin Bawn.

This lady she was taken,

and in her chamber bound;

And Billy also was taken,

and laid in Sligo Jail:

It's at the bar of justice,

great Fowler's auge to stand,

For nothing else but stealing of,

of his fair Colin Bawn.
