Donal Og |
| And if you should go across the water |
| Take me with you to be your partner |
| At fair and market you’ll be well looked after |
| And you shall sleep with the Greek King’s daughter |
| Oh Donal Og, you’ll not find me lazy |
| Like many a high born expensive lady |
| I’ll do your milking, I’ll nurse your baby |
| And if you’re set on, I’ll defend you bravely |
| I saw you first on a Sunday evening |
| Before the Easter, as I was kneeling |
| 'Twas of Christ’s passion that I was reading |
| But my mind was on you, and my own heart bleeding |
| Black as the sloe is the heart that’s in me |
| Black as the coal is the grief that blinds me |
| Black as the bootprint on shining hallway |
| 'Twas you that blackened it, ever and alway |
| For you took what’s before me and what’s behind me |
| Took East and West when you would not mind me |
| Sun, moon and stars from my sky have been taken |
| And God as well, or I’m much mistaken |
