It was up in sweet rathcoole,
Of a fine bright day in june.
That I first met handsome Tady,
When the wild flowers
were in Bloom.
Well bedad and then says I,
So a shamefull thing to see,
Such a fine big straping fellow,
With
no girl upon yer knee.
Chorus
Kate me Darling from my soul,
At the cushla gra mo cree,
We will dance among the heather,
Will you
come away with me.
We will drop the lily fare,
At the gap of Inis so gay,
I can hear the small birds calling,
Come
away Come away.
Well he lifted up his head,
Like a wild Deer in the spring,
And her cheeks began a blusshing,
And her heart
began to sing.
He said greetings Katie dear,
Im a rover can’t you see.
I’m tired of being lonly,
Will
you come away with me.
(Chorus)
And even to this day if you,
Pass by sweet rathcoole.
You will see them both together,
Neath a lovely
summers roof.
You will see them walk the roads,
Carefree Young lovers skip and play.
You can hear their voices
calling,
Come away Come away.
(Chorus)
I can hear the small birds calling come away come away.
I can hear their voices calling come away come away
End.
