My home is waiting there for me,
and the girl I left behind.
Of all the treasure that waits for me,
that's what I want to find.
He eyes so merry,and her smile so sweet,
her hugs so warm, and her ankle neat,
her kisses hot, now there's a treat.
If there's a treasure greater, it lies not in my mind.
We'll dance all night while the moon runs free,
and dandle the lasses upon our knee,
and then you'll ride along with me,
to dance with Jak O' the Shadows.
