Never hoping for recovery till I'm laid in the churchyard
But I give thanks to God of glory because I put in my time
On a rock in the middle of the ocean amongst the birds of the cliffs
If I were in Aird Uí Chuain
By the mountain which is far away from me
It would be rare that I wouldn’t visit
The Glen of the Cuckoos on a Sunday
And alas for Ireland and oh
Ireland, melancholy and oh
It's my heart that is heavy and sad
Many’s the Christmas I was
In Cushendun and me without sense
And my white hurley in my hand
Hurling on the white strand
Amn’t I tired here by myself
That don’t hear the call of the rooster, blackbird or corncrake
Sparrow, thrush, the snipe itself
And I don’t even recognise Sunday
This is the struggle everlasting
In this world that would deceive
It would steal the sheep away from the lamb
And it stole my youth from me
If I had a little boat and an oar
I would row away on the back of the waves
Hoping to God that I would arrive safe
So that I could die in Ireland
