Young Ro-ry O'More court-ed Kath-a-leen Bawn
7  -6   6   -5 5  5   -4   4   -3  -4 -4   -4
He was bold as a hawk and she soft as the dawn
66   6    4   4   -4
He wished in his heart 
 4   4   6    4   4   -8...
Pret-ty Kath-leen to please
 6  -5    5    -5   6    6
And he thought the best way 
-6 -7  7    4  4    4
to do that was to tease.
  7  7  -7 -6 -6  5
"Now Ro-ry be ais-y," 
  5    -5   5     -4   4
sweet Kath-leen would cry
-3-3 -3” -3  4   4  -4  5   5   -6  6   6...
Re-proof on her lip but a smile in her eye
  -6   -7    7   -7  -6    -6
"With your tricks I don't know 
5    5    -5   5 -4  4
in truth what I'm a-bout
 -3    -3     -3”    -3
Faith you've teas’d till 
 4    4  -4 5    5   -6  -6  -6...
I've put on my cloak in-side out.
 -6  6  4     4   -4 4
"Oh jew-el," says Ro-ry, 
  4    6   4   4   4
"that same is the way
 -6 -6   6   4  4    5   -4   4   -3 -4-4 -4
You've thrat-ed my heart for this ma-ny a day
 5   -5    6     4   4 -4
And ‘tis plaz'd that I am 
 6   4   6  4  4   -6...
and why not to be sure
 6   -5   5  -5   6    6
For ‘tis all for good luck."  
 -6   -7  7  4  4  4
says bold Ro-ry O'More.
