I am a Claddagh boatman bold
Humble is my calling
I work and toil from morn till night
In Galway Bay I'm trawling.
II
I care not for the big man's frown
I ask not for his favour.
My wants are few, no debts I owe
I live on honest labour.

Unstained by spot or speckle
The 'sagart' say, on Galway Bay,
There's none like young Matt Hanly.(continues on next page)- Collector
