Whenever I go to a market or Fair
The girls around me do flock in the square
Some give me apples, and others sweet cakes
For to court me unknown to my parents
…………………………..

Whenever I go to the Town of Macroom
With a cock in my hat and my pipe in full bloom
Im taken at once straight into a room
Where Bacchus is sporting with Venus
…………………………..

There is Molly and Anne from the village hard by
And Katie from Kealkil with a cock in her eye
Though being from the mountains her stockings are white
And I'd like to be tightening her garters.

Theres Peggy and Jane from the town of Bruree
And Biddy from Bruff and they all in a spree
And such bog le mo cheann as they had about me
Singing Fágaimís siúd mar atá sé.
