    The night was getting late I could no longer wait
    For to seek for further knowledge if I could withstand
    I bid her good bye and made this reply saying:
    Fare thee well Roshy with a shake of my hand.

    She stood in the door and as I crossed o'er the moor
    I ran at my hest and soon left her view
    When I get home again 'tis the whole I'll explain
    How I met and I parted with old Roshy Rhu.
