"Oh, Limerick is beautiful as everybody knows, The River Shannon full of fish, beside that city flows: But it is not the river, nor the fish that preys upon my mind, Nor with the town of Limerick have I any fault to find. The girl I love is beautiful, she's fairer than the dawn: She lives in Garryowen, and she's called the Colleen Bawn. As the river, proud and bold, goes by that famed city, So proud and cold, without a word, that Colleen goes by me! Oh, hone! Oh, hone! Oh, if I was the Emperor of Russia to command, Or Julius Caesar, or the Lord Lieutenant of the land, I'd give up all my wealth, my manes, I'd give up my army, Both the horses, the fat, and the royal artillery; I'd give the crown from off my head, the people on their knees. I'd give my fleet of sailing ships upon the briny seas. And a beggar I'd go to sleep, a happy man at dawn, If by my side, fast for my bride, I'd the darlin' Colleen Bawn. Oh, hone! Oh, hone!"
