Lovely song. this is the version I sing

Loughinsholin (Lakes of Coolfin)
(? spelling)


Well it was early one morning young Willie he arose
and straightway to his comrades bedchamber he did go
saying arise my loyal comrade and let no-one know
'tis a fine summer's mornin and a-bathin we will go.

Well they journeyed on together till they came to a long lane
and the first that they met was a keeper of the game
saying turn back young Willie and turn back again
for your fate it is to die in the Loughinsholin

Well Willie Leonard he jumped in and swam the lake around
until he reached the island it was soft and boggy ground
crying comrade, loyal comrade do not venture in
For there's deep and false waters in the Loughinsholin
