Lyrics

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 mo 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 mo mhíle stór
These twelve months and better my darling has left these shore
He ne’er will come back 'til he travels the? world o’er
And when he returns with laurels I’ll crown him all o’er
He’s the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo 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 mo mhíle stór
He’s the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo Mhíle Stór

Lyrics translation

Year the support this departed from me secret my bosom
Not it comes home that he gives course of the lifetime
When chífead is rithfead energy is too high it’s
Clúdód with honey, it is Jimmy my thousand-treasure
Takes my mother is my father at pruning's at bruíon I own
I am giobaithe piocaithe, ciapaithe, plagued dem life
Indicated enjoyment for that individual was either witnessed’s was cliff snó
It went on board of a ship, is Jimmy my thousand-treasure
These twelve months and better my darling has left these shore
He ne'er will come back 'til he travels the? world o'er
And when he returns with laurels I'll crown him all o'er
He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy My Thousand-Treasure
Rachadsa to wood and caithféad the rest of dem life
In the place nor will anyone listen to the music of the birds
At the bottom of the tree mountain ash as grow there grass enough
At tabhart enjoyment for that individual, is Jimmy my thousand-treasure
He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy My Thousand-Treasure
