Lyrics:
Beside a green mountain, where silver streams run,
There dwells a fair maiden who has my heart won,
Her eyes are as bright as the May morning sun,
My sweet little girl from Barnagh.

Her heart is good natured as pure as the dew,
Of the green mossy banks where oft I did woo,
The heart of my darling and I kissed her lips too,
My sweet little girl from Barnagh.

My love, she has riches, both silver and land,
Sheep, cows and fine horses, and a snowy white hand,
And a cot by the hillside by fair breezes stand,
My sweet little girl from Barnagh.

When my country is free it is then she’ll be mine,
My love and my riches and all will be thine
I’ll buy for her jewels and diamonds so fine,
My sweet little girl from Barnagh.

My country's in bondage I must set it free,
From the foes that oppress my green isle of the sea
Should victory smile on a banner to me,
I’ll fly and be happy in Barnagh.

Beside a green mountain, where silver streams run,
There dwells a fair maiden who has my heart won,
Her eyes are as bright as the May morning sun,
My sweet little girl from Barnagh.
