''This one and that one will court him,''

''But if e'er he gets any but me;''

''Both daily and hourly I'll curse them,''

''That stole lovely Jamie from me.''

''Far in the land of the stranger,''

''Six hundred miles o'er the sea;''

''To fight in the lowlands of Holland,''

Paddy Tunney recorded a ballad called "The Banks of Dunmore" which uses the same melody with the addition of a second part. Tunney's song is also from County Donegal and tells of the love of a wealthy young Protestant Ulsterman for a poor Irish Catholic girl.
