Tailtiu his mother true rise up and be seen

Chorus:
At the festival sound the horn, calling the people again
Child of Barleycorn, newly summerborn, ripening like the

Lugh was wed and made his bed with Erin in the north
And there they lay for many a day and soon a child came

The child grew tall from spring to fall, Setanta was his

And then at length by honor's strength CuChulainn he
