Buachaill On Eirne Boy From Ireland English lyrics

I am a boy from Ireland and I`d coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn`t ask for a dowry with her, I`m rich enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
And if I don`t change my ways I`ll be the heir for County Mayo.

Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice,
But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.
If I lost my wealth and I don`t think I lost my sense,
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.

My love and treasure, don`t marry the old grey man,
But marry a young man, my Leo, even though he lives but a year,
Or you`ll still be without a daughter or son above you,
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
