   When we reached London the police were in the quay

   Do bhí barántas scríbhte sa Telegraph News ó indé

   They viewed the description and colour of both our hair

   Cuireadh thar n-ais sinn go Cluain Meala chun sinn dár shaor'

   
   The day of our trial her mother she swore "severe"

   Go n-ólfainn mo thuilleamh ag imtheacht le fán imo shaoghail

   Her daughter was simple and I was a scheming rake

   Do bhuaileas an bobaire i gan fhios don saoghal go léir.

   
   When the Barrister read the last will that her father made

   D'fhiafruig den ainnir go bpósfadh sí réic gan céill.

   She showed him the will that her father had granted twice

   Agus d'fhág sé don ainnir a fheirm go léir do roinnt.

   
   The court it was silenced, the Jury they then did say

   Bhí "Rider" " An ainnir go bpósfadh sí réic gan céill

   Said she, "I was a most loving genteel young swain

   Ná pósfadh mo mhalairt go sínfinn sa chré.
