There was a young maiden from County Kildare, With a body so graceful with flowers in her hair, All the boys sought for her with a ring in their hand, Denied them did she, for she did not like man.
Now, I'll tell a story, I'll tell you the truth, She met a young lassy, Who came from Maynooth. She held out her hand and offered a kiss, grabbed did she and gave into the bliss.
