An a priesth o’ parieshe on his lhaung-tyel garrane.

Ye be welcome hearthillee, welcome mee joees,
Ye be welcome hearthilee, ivery oan.

Aar was Parick o Dearmouth, an dhen score besidh,

An a preisth o’ parieshe on his garrane baun,
Hea marreet dear Phielim to his sweet Jauane.

Aar was lhaung kaayle an nettles ee-mixt wee prasaugh buee,
Maade a nicest coolecannan that e’er ye did zee.

An goude usquebaugh ee-sarith uth in cooanès .

Chorus.——Ye be welcome, &c

Raree met in plathearès, ee-zet in a rooe,
An neeat wooden trenshoorès var whiter than snow.
Have a dishen an trenshoorès awye, Shannen;
Drink a heall to a breede. “Shud with, a vourneen.”

Chorus.——Ye be welcome, &c

A peepeare struck ap; wough dansth aul in a ring;
Earch myde was a queen, an earch bye was a king;
Zoo wough aul vell a-danceen; earch bye gae a poage
To his sweethearth, an smack lick a dab of a brough

Chorus.——Ye be welcome, &c

Zoo wough kisth, an wough parthet; earch man took his laave;
An a boor lithel breedegroom waithed wonderfullee griefte.
Zoo wough aul returnth hime, contented an gaay
To our pleoughès an mulk-pylès till a neeshte holy die.
