- "Once to this country a stranger I came,
I placed my attention on a maid that was young,
She was neat, tall and slender in every degree.
She was the flower of this country and the rose of Ardee
Till a young weaver came her way to see, and stole the heart of my own darling.
The rose of Ardee
When I get my week's wages to the ale house I'll go,
It's there I sit drinking with my heart full of woe.
It's there I sit drinking expecting to see
One sight of my own darling, the rose of Ardee.- Collector
