    Who richers great processed
    But an Irish boy
    This maid so coy
    Of all she loved the best
    Oh well she knew
    To her was true
    This lad beyond comparing
    Twas his truth I ween
    That won this queen
    The rose of Killinkere
    V
    But now 'eer Lent
    She did consent
    That married they would be
    And at Fathadreen
    There would be seen
    A merry wedding
    Each boy as gay
    All on that say
    And colleen will be there
    To congratulate in wedding state
    The rose of Killinkere
