Jimmy My Thousand Times Beloved (Or: Jimmy My Treasure)
My love he's gone from me, no fairer than him can be found, He'll never return until he course the wide world around. When I'll see my love coming I'll crown him with laurel all o'er, He's the neatest of lovers called Jimmy mo mhíle stór My father and mother they never can give me ease Since first my true love went from me to the seas, I bear it with patience, shedding and sighing full sore, Lamenting the fate of Jimmy, mo mhíle stór I'll got to the greenwood and spend there all of my time, Where no man or mortal can ever disturb my mind, Beneath the green willow I'll lament and sigh full sore, And I'll wait on my pillow for Jimmy mo mhíle stór
Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór
Bliain an taca seo d’imigh uaim rún mo chléibh Ní thiocfaidh sé abhaile go dtabharfaidh sé cúrsa an tsaoil Nuair a chífead é rithfead le fuinneamh ró-ard ina chomhair's Clúdód le mil é, is é Jimmy mó mhíle stór Bíonn mo mháthair is m'athair ag bearradh’s ag bruíon liom féin Táim giobaithe piocaithe, ciapaithe, cráite dem shaol Thugas taitneamh don duine úd dob fhinne's dob aille snó Is chuaigh sé ar bhord loinge, is é Jimmy mó mhíle stór Rachadsa chun coille agus caithféad an chuid eile dem shaol San áit ná béidh éinne ag éisteacht le ceol na n-éan Ag bun an chrainn chaorthainn mar a bhfásann ann féar go leor Ag tabhart taitnimh don duine úd, is é Jimmy mó mhíle stór
