[verse 1]
one day in the season of autumn
in the year twenty~four, well, you know
when the bad times, they were fast approaching
well, i took down my scythe for to mow
and, my hand it being fair in a motion
with my sandboard, my hook and my stone
and my scythe i had sharpened so neatly
when the hay from the heavens was thrown

[verse 2]
well, i straight took my way to tipperary
for to hire for a season, you know
there i stood at the meeting lane corner
and i raised up my scythe for to show
when a widow convenient to bansha
she observеd me there standing alonе
and ’twas modestly she did approach me
and she said she had hay for to mow

[verse 3]
well, she asked me what county i came from
or where i did mean for to go
or was it by daily employment
or whether by task i would mow?
well, i told her i came from a county
where men of great fame did resort
and my wages i never would claim them
until all of her hay i’d cut short
[verse 4]
“i will hire you”, she said, “for a fortnight
and then if i like how you mow
i will keep you for cutting the harvest
and for thrashing i’l want you also
and your diet will be dressed in rotation
with the best that the house can bestow
sure, the longer you’re with me acquainted
’tis the better you’ll like me i know.”

[verse 5]
well she showed me her meadow that evening
and she told me to cut it right low
but as soon as i entered that quarter
well, she said i was cutting too slow
now, i did my endeavours to please her
for i being so far from my home
she said, “if you work hard at your labour
i will soon make my farm your own”

[verse 6]
so i cut all her hay and her corn
and i thrashed all her wheat and her oats
it was then that i asked for my wages
and said i would hit for the road
“ah”, she said, “do not go and forsake me
and leave me in grief to condole
sure, ’tis i will keep you from hard labour
and my farm in sweet bansha you’ll own”
[verse 7]
so we settled our account on that morning
and i said to my home i’d ne’er go
but would stay for my life along with her
for to plough and to reap and to sow
off we went to the clergy next morning
and he tied the knot on us both there
and it’s now near the town of sweet bansha
contented we live evermore
