although a little confused these are the words Sam Gorman sings....
Oh it was on a pleasant morning in the burning time of spring
Just as the cheerful songsters in comfort they did sing.
But the primroses and daisies they spangled every lawn
And in another I espied my own sweet Colleen Bawn

............... said to her now will you listen pretty maid
you have so pierced you've torn my heart of that I'm much afraid
Unless you cure my anguish, it's now had its dawn
Oh you'll have no Willie Reilly for his own sweet Colleen Bawn

Now two horses we got ready now all in a silent night
And its wanting of a remedy we quickly took a flight
but her father followed after us with his strong arm band
and it's taken was poor Reilly and lodged in Sligo town

Now its if kind fortune now once more will set me free.
In this prison where I lie up in my love I'll surely see
My love is so faithful true and despise her father's corn
But its yet I'll wed her life instead she's her own sweet colleen Bawn

Oh there is a ring amongst them I'll allow yourself to wear
Its let in with precious diamonds and filled with gold and pearls
As you will think of my sweet heart when you are far away.
