The lyrics are (although there is one gap where I can't recall the beginning of a sentence - sorry):

Chorus
Oh You're a rascal Tarry Flynn
You're writing poetry instead of digging drills
Strolling around the fields all day
Won't you ever work or won't you ever stay?

Verse 1
Is there a man who cares that I should be spared
All this life of drudgery?
BLANK..........shaking shooks of hay, wishing all the day
That some hour I could be free

Chorus

Verse 2
Oh mother can't you see that this farmer's life
It was never meant for me
To reap and sow I don't want to, no
But to Dublin go
For that's where my life should be

Chorus

Verse 3
Don't come to say goodbye -mothers always cry
Shake my hand and set me free
When fame has come to my Dublin home
Maybe then some day
You'll come up and visit me

Chorus
