    On the borders of the Corrib
    Non far from Headford town
    The grazers they are weeping not,
    Their sorrows for to drown
    They did their best to purchase,
    And then to till and sow
    The lands from which our fathers were eviced long ago.
    Chorus
    They fought to keep their bullocks
    Where people should have been
    And then to own for evermore
    The lands of Annakeen
