Traditional, arranged by Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney
 
 Ta mo chleamhnas deanta o athru areir
 S'ni mo na go dtaithnioonn an bhean liom fein
 Ach fagfaidh me i mo dhiaidh i
 'gus imeoidh me liom fein
 Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach
 
 My match it was made here last night
 To a girl I neither love nor like
 But I'll take my own advice
 And leave her behind
 And go roaming the wild woods all over.
 
 Shiuil mise thoir agus shiuil mise thiar.
 Shiuil mise Corcaigh 'gus sraide Bh'l'ath Cliath
 Ach samhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh.
 'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhag mo chroi craite
 
 I walked up and I walked down.
 I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns,
 But no equal to my true love could I find.
 She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken.
 
 D'eirigh me ar maidin dha uair roimh an la
 'gus fuair me litir o mo mhile ghra
 Chuala me an smoilin 's an londubh a ra
 Gur ealiagh mo ghra thar saile
 
 I got up two hours before day
 And I got a letter from my true love.
 I heard the blackbird and linnet say
 That my love had crossed the ocean.
