Bunclody |
| Oh were I at the moss house |
| Where the birds do increase |
| By the foot of Mount Leinster |
| Or some silent place |
| By the streams of Buncloudy |
| Where all pleasures do meet |
| And all that I ask is |
| One kiss from you sweet |
| Oh the streams of Buncloudy |
| They flow down to the sea |
| By the streams of Buncloudy |
| I am longing to be |
| A-drinking stong liquor |
| At the height of my cheer |
| Here’s a health to Buncloudy |
| And the lass I love dear |
| Oh the cuckoo is a pretty bird |
| And she sings as she flies |
| She brings us glad tidings |
| And she tells us no lies |
| She sucks all of the small birds' eggs |
| Just to make her voice clear |
| And the more she sings cuckoo |
| The summer draws near |
| If I were a clerk |
| And I could write a good hand |
| I would write to my true love |
| So that she’d understand |
| That I am a young fellow |
| Who is wounded in love |
| Once I lived in Buncloudy |
| But now must remove |
| So farewell to my father |
| And my mother adieu |
| To my sister and my brother |
| Farewell unto you |
| I am bound out for America |
| My fortune to try |
| When I think on Buncloudy |
| I am ready to die |
