   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)

   I searched everywhere, but ah, never mind,
   That deceitful lass I never did find.

   IV

   To the house of John Flynn I next did repair
   In hope I should find some trace of her there:
   Double jigs, jigs, and reels, sure they made the time pass,
   I still hoped that in would come that wicked lass;
   But no, and I was to buy a new rig
   For the money I’d get for my dear little pig.

   V

   She did not turn up, so home I did go
   My work to do and my shuttle to throw;
   I’d stick to my loom while youth was in bloom,
   And I’d never be caught by a scoundrel again.

   VI

   The girl I love, she too causes me woe
   If she would wed me things wouldn’t be so;
   But I’ll search everywhere for that blade, she’s a prig,
   That lassie that stole from me the price of my pig.
