When I Ghear that wind bEmlow 
All aCcross the Wicklow Bmmountains 
Is it Amyou, I hear a Ccalling 
Johnny Dboy, oh Johnny Emboy 
When I Glook to the Emwest 
All Cacross the River BmShannon 
I can Amstill see you Csmiling 
Johnny Dboy, oh Johnny Gboy 
When the Cleaves have turned to brown

When I Ghear that wind Emblow 
All Cacross the Wicklow Bmmountains 
Sure it's Amyou, I'll hear a Ccalling 
Johnny Dboy, oh Johnny Gboy
