I'm a lively and versatile Wandering Man
and supply me with ladies,
Where in the Spring I'd scatter the seed
twice over the white lands,
Where in the Spring I'd scatter the seed
twice over the white lands,
I'd have my hands on the plough as I follow the horses
And I'd split hills open on the slopes.

And my five hundred farewells to you, my father's district,
and to the beloved island,
And to the crowd of young men behind me
at home who'd help me in time of need,
Dublin is burnt away and Galway will be taken,
we'll have flames on bonfires,
My father will have wine and ale on his table,
such a help to the Wandering Man.

And on the first day in Ireland that I enlisted,
I was tipsy and satisfied,
And on the second day I enlisted
I was sadly tormented,
But on the third day I enlisted,
I'd have given five hundred pounds to leave,
And even if I'd given that I'd hardly
have got my pass to leave.

And one fine day I was down in Galway
and the river was flowing down,
The trout and the eel and the pack of sticks
were there and all such fine things,
The young women there were polite and gentle
and they were slender, amiable and nice,
But there wasn't a young woman that I sat with that
I didn't tell her that black was white.

And I long for the day I'd be in a house
without a sweetheart for twelve years and three months,
For I am a lively spirited young fellow
and I'd woo the gentle beauty,
And it was twelve women who were envying and contending for me,
all hoping to benefit from my spade,
It was the prayer of the old woman as I crossed the threshold,
'Now behave your self, you Wandering Man'.
