WILLY RILLY.
O Rise up Willy Rilly,
and come along with me,
I mean for to go with you,
and leave this country:
I will leave my father’s dwelling,
his houses and free lands
And away goes Willy Rilly
and his fair Colin Bawn.
Over hills and lofty mountains,
and many a lonesome place;
Thro' many a grove and valley
her company to obtain
Her father followed after them,
with a well armed ban’,
And taken was poor Rilly,
and his fair Colin Bawn.
This lady she was taken,
and in her chamber bound;
And Billy also was taken,
and laid in Sligo Jail:
It's at the bar of justice,
great Fowler's auge to stand,
For nothing else but stealing of,
of his fair Colin Bawn.
