lyrics

What will you have for dinner now,
my own darling boy?
What will you have for dinner,
my comfort and my joy?
I had bread, beef and cold poison,
mother, will you dress my bed soon?
I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down.

What will you leave your mother now,
my own darling boy?
What will you leave your mother,
my comfort and my joy?
I’ll leave her the keys to my treasure,
mother, will you dress my bed soon?
I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down.

What will you leave your father now,
my own darling boy?
What will you leave your father, my
comfort and my joy?
I’ll leave him the coach and four horses,
mother, will you dress my bed soon?
I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down.

What will you leave your wife now,
my own darling boy?
What will you leave your wife, my
comfort and my joy?
I’ll leave her the long rope for to hang her,
mother, will you dress my bed soon?
I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down.

What will you leave your children
now, my own darling boy?
What will you leave your children,
my comfort and my joy?
I’ll let them follow their mother,
will you dress my bed soon?
I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down.

Where will you be buried now, my own
darling boy?
Where will you be buried, my comfort
and my joy?
I’ll be buried in Kilkenny, where I’ll take a long sleep,
With a stone to my head and a scraith to my feet.
