    Lyrics:
    Dunmore we quitted,
    Michelmas gone by
    Cowhides and wool and live cargo
    Twenty young wild geese
    Ready fledged to fly
    Sailing for the Lowlands Low
    The lowlands low, the lowlands low
    Sailing for the lowlands low
    Shaun Paor's the skipper
    From the church of Crook
    Peary keeps log for his father
    Crew all from Bannow
    Fethard and the Hook
    Sailing for the Lowlands low
    These twenty wild geese
    Gave Queen Anne the slip
    Crossing to Louis in Flanders
    He and Jack Malbrook
    Both are in a grip
    Fighting in the Lowlands Low
    Close lay a rover
    Off the Isle of Wight
    Either a Salee or Saxon!
    Out through the sea mist
    We bade them goodnight
    Sailing for the Lowlands Low
    Ready with priming,
    We'd our galliot gun
    Muskets and pikes in good order
    We should be riddled,
    Captives would be none
    Death! or else the Lowlands low
    Pray Holy Brendan,
    Turk nor Algerine
    Dutchman nor Saxon may sink us!
    We'll bring Geneva,
    Sack and Rhenish wines
    Safely from the lowlands low
