lyrics

Oft I go to Dublin Market
For to search and woo the fair
And I’ve had my share of troubles
With the beauties I find there

Some new pearls I am a-seeking
Or a pretty brand new dress
Hope a lad here comes a-peeking
Will he like it, who can guess

Oh, my heart, be still, I’m praying
I can’t take any more woe
With these lads, by god, I’m staying
Many places I could go

If ye go to Dublin Market,
You’ll have all your pick of wares
You can find a love and spark it
And you’ll always lose your cares!

But should ye be fond of keeping
A good lad lad who’s been a peeking

You’ll be not the first to leave here only on your own!
