    A Wee wee woman
    And a wee wee man
    A we wee kettle and a wee wee pan
    A wee wee house thatched with straw
    Three blind mice
    And a gralf Jack Daw
    A Domhnaill O Connail an tuiginn tú Ghaedilg
    Tuigim a cailín céard is lear dhuit
    Tá nimh in do cúpan
    A mharbocad na cheadta
    Garuim tú a Chailín is bearfhaidh me Spree dhuit
    Womaneen, Womaneen under the Hill
    Baking bread for gentlemen
    Hi Ho whose below
    Father and Mother and Blind Joe
    Pence a piece for ducks and geese
    And nothing for the poor old gander.
    Three grey geese
    In the green field grazing
    Grey were the geese
    And green was the grazing.
