If my love comes here tonight, here tonight, here tonight
If my love comes here tonight to tap the grey window pane,
Answer him politely, politely, politely
Answer him politely – don't answer him harshly
That the girl is not at home, the girl is not at home, the girl is not at home,
That the girl is not at home, nor wishes to be in the house;
A young man from another parish, from another parish, from another parish
A young man from another parish has taken her away.
