I've often met with troubles but the devil a straw I care
for every child of Adam of misfortune met his share
I've heard Father Dooley in his sermons often say
that Solomon was a foolish man in his own sweet way

I have been in every barracks from Spike Island to Tralee
for fighting and for poaching and for being upon a spree,
and whenever I'm not in prison boys for that I'll have my fling,
I am surely in a sibín shop and there I dance and sing.
