There is a home by the wild Avonmore
As it sweeps through the Broad open trees
When the clear river washes the shore
And the Bulrushes wave with the breeze.
Where the green ivy clings round the door
And the brown thrushes sing from each tree
To my darling their sweet notes they pour
Is ar Éirinn ni n-eósfainn cé hí.

Of cattle cows corn and wealth.
Broad lands by the wide Avonmore
While I have my youth and my health
She is the sweet maid I adore
And her fond love is plighted on me
Without riches or bright gold in store(continues on next page)
