H: I often heard the Limerick people sing to this air Byron's two-verse poem H:beginning "I saw thee weep". W:As I roved out one morning down by a river side, W:To catch some trout and salmon where the stream did gently glide; W:Down by the brook my way I took and there by chance did spy W:A lovely maid all in the shade, who smiled and passed me by. W: W:With hand in hand we walked along down by her father's place; W:Her parents they were satisfied when first they saw my face. W:The banns were quickly published and joined we were for life: W:So instead of trout or salmon--O, I caught a virtuous wife.
