\n sighing by night and constantly weeping by day.<\/i>
\n Since my mind has been darkened<\/i>
\n and me far from my people,<\/i>
\n by God, how I pine for you, County Mayo.<\/i><\/p>\n
\n I thought it would be a great thing for me as a poor youth;<\/i>
\n he gave me a glass [of whiskey] and a pint,<\/i>
\n and a gun to guard me,<\/i>
\n and I thought this was better than being in County Mayo.<\/i><\/p>\n
\n I’d have a bottle in each hand in the company of young women!<\/i>
\n But for constant drinking,<\/i>
\n and the law being too harsh,<\/i>
\n my bones wouldn’t be buried in Santa Cruz.<\/i><\/p>\n
\n I haven’t gone demanding them for the past year or two,<\/i>
\n for fear that somebody’d catch me back there<\/i>
\n and that I’d be hanged for debts,<\/i>
\n and that they’d clap iron chains around the tops of my shoes.<\/i><\/p>\n
\n until a tuft of rushes starts herding cattle,<\/i>
\n until the coffers are opened,<\/i>
\nthat are at the top of Beanna Beola<\/i>
\n I shall nevermore leave you, County Mayo.<\/i><\/p>\nNotes<\/h2>\n
