A Shein Bhin, beir orm

A Shein Bhin, beir orm
Is tabhair sa gcoca fir m
Nach deas a d'fhs an coiricn
Nach deas d'fhs an crn
Nach deas a d'fhs an coiricn
Ar Chaitln N Ghrofa
A Shein Bhin, beir orm
'S a Shein Bhin, brag m
A Shein Bhin, beir orm
Is tabhair sa gcoca fir m
Shil mise Sasana
An Fhrainc uilig tr chile
Is n fhaca m aon siobaire
Ba dheise n do chrn
A Shein Bhin, beir orm
'S a Shein Bhin, brag m
A Shein Bhin, beir orm
Is tabhair sa gcoca fir m
Nach deas an baile an baile seo
Nach deas an baile Maoras
Nach deas an baile chuile baile
Ach Claidhneach glas na bhfaochain
A Shein Bhin, beir orm
'S a Shein Bhin, brag m
A Shein Bhin, beir orm

A Mhire, m t t ag scarint uaim
Mo mhle sln go deo leat
Nach deas mar chuirfinn fata dhuit
Nos fearr n bhainfinn móin dhuit
Nach olc an t-am a d'imigh t
'S an fómhar ann go dreach
Is gan inne ar an mbaile seo
N bean óg le th chaoineadh
A Shein Bhin, beir orm

Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
It's lovely the way the cock's crest grows,
It's lovely the way the hen's crest grows,
It's lovely the way the cock's crest grows,
For Kathleen Griffin.
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
I walked to England,
France all together,
And I never saw a crest as nice as
The one on your hen.
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
Isn't this town nice,
Isn't Maoras a nice town,
Isn't every town nice,
Except Clidhnach, green with periwinkles
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
Mary, if you're leaving me,
A thousand farewells,
Wouldn't I sow your potatoes well,
Even better than I'd cut turf for you
Didn't you go at a bad time,
And Autumn just here,
And no one here or no young women,
To cry for you.
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
I don't care where you go,
I don't care where you are,
I don't care where you go,
As long as I have you at night
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
And take me into the cock of hay
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Fair-haired Sean lie to me,
Fair-haired Sean catch me,
Didn't you kiss me last night
