W: 'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed,
W: and the moon and the stars they were shining.
W: The moon shone it's rays on her locks of golden hair,
W: and she swore she'd be my love forever.
W:
W: It's not for the parting that my sister pains,
W: it's not for the grief of my mother.
W: It is all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass,
W: that my heart is breaking forever.
