“I am a young fellow that ran out of my land and means...”
(continued from previous page)5
'Twas early next morning we started to meet the train
Ar eagla an airm is go leanfadh an tóir nár ndéidh
In Waterford city we stopped till our clothes we changed
Is bhí céad agus dachad de ghinidhthibh buidhe ag an mbéith

That day we engaged with the captain to sail away
Is do dhíolas mo chapall le sagart ó pharróiste an tsléibhe
The ship being steady and the weather was fine and fair
Is do shroiseamair talamh gan uireasbha gábhadh ná baoghal

When we reached into London the police were on the quay
'S bhí barántaisí scríobhtha sa "telegraph news ó iné
We were both detected and sent off at once to jail
Is tugadh thar nais go cluain Meala sin do tréill

On the day of our trial her mother she swore severe
Go n-ólfainn mo thuilleamh ag imtheacht le fán a'tsaoghail
That the daughter was simple and I was a scheming rake
Is gur bhuaileas bob uirthi 'gan fhios an t-saoghail go léir(continues on next page)
