- (continued from previous page)When they came out I'm sure 'twas late
She said we'll go by Laffan's gate
For I dread that dirty boreen
Going home across be Barna
The leaves are falling from the trees
And we'll be wet above the knees
And We'll be wet with the big Thaneens
So we wont go home be BarnaNo we'll go home around about
Where we'll see light in every house
So we wont go home through BarnaWe'll buy a lantern in the street
To show us light from head to feet
You may be sure we'll be complete
And we wont go home be BarnaOh Johnny what would your mama say
If you and I did sport and play
And stay out all night in a cock of hay
Between Longorchard and BarnaO Nancy dear don't talk like that
But you and I can laugh and chat
Going home across be BarnaSo now young girls take my advice
Be always sure to shun the boys
And don't be caught out late at night
Between Longorchard and Barna
