- (continued from previous page)As we went at the rate of a wedding
Into Sgairbh na gCaorach Fair.
(II)As we went across the near-cuts
We call the market house hill
A hundred horny animals
Around me there stood still
I thought my goat I could not sell
I offered up a prayer
And sold her for half-a-crown
In Sgairbh na gCaorach fair.
(III)She had hardly a pint of milk
In a warm Summers day
And I'll tell you at the present time
She would not cream (crame) your tea
She'll be seen no more in the corn stack
Where she used to wag her tail
Or going up and down the garden
Plucking lovely heads of kale
She'll be seen no more on the kitchen floor
Where she used to wag her tail
For I parted with my fanny dear
In the Sgairbh na gCaorach fair
