    (continued from previous page)
    My name is Hugh Reynolds
    I come of honest parents
    Near Cavan I was born as plainly you may see
    By loving a maid one Catherine McCabe
    My life has been betrayed
    She's a dear maid to me
    11.
    The country were bewailing my doleful situation
    But still I'd expectation
    This maid would set me free
    But oh she was ungrateful
    Her parents proved deceitful
    And though I loved her faithful
    She's a dear maid to me
    111.
    Young men and tender maidens
    Throughout this Irish nation
    Who hear my lamentation
    I hope you'll pray for me
