    On Sunday morning
    I was the proud son, as I thought,
    Looking at young women
    They that raised my heart
    But mo bhrón I forgot to colse
    the door after me
    And the 'harvest was eaten on me
    That never will be ended.

    On Monday morning,
    It was sorrowful I was getting up.
    Tackling the road
    To put the case before a lawyer;
    I ment Seán Mór
    He Advised me to stay where I was,
    That Seán óg would settle the case
    If there was any settlin' on it.

    That was in Ballycroy & Oilean bán.
