[Verse 1]
(Drone on E)
Out by the stately woods of Traugh McKenna rides at noon
The sun was shining not a cloud darkened the skies of June
No eye has he for nature's charms they don't annoy his brain
Through flowery pines he makes his way and never draws a rein.
[Verse 2]
(Drone on E)
Before him stands the tall grey tower of Glaslough castle old
There in it dwells his own treasure more dear to him than gold
There in it dwells his own true love his darling young Maureen
Whom he hopes one day will bless his home in the woods of Truagh so green.
[Verse 3]
E D E
I have come to say goodbye to you for tomorrow I must go
E D E
With my brave Traugh men to Benburb going to defend Owen Roe
E D E
I‘ve come to look you in the eye and hear your answer sweet
E D E
For if fighting in the battle fall sure we never more may meet.

[Verse 4]
E D A E
Go forth my love my blessings go and smite the Saxon hoard
E D A E
And I'll be your bride when you return without another word
E A E
With a fond embrace they bid adieu as the evening sun went down
E A E
Behind the thickley wooded hills that overlooks Glaslough town.
E D A E
McKenna lightly mounts his steed on the twilight of the eve
E D A E
And heads her over Davlagh Hills through Trugh's green shady woods
E A E
That night he met his true men on the hills of sweet Tyrone
E A E
And then the army of the north likewise fearless Owen.
E D A E
Right when O'Neill was glad to see those hardy mountaineers
E D A E
Who kept the Saxon wolves at bay for many’s the weary year
E D A E
And well they fought on Benburb's plains when the English Flag went down
E A E
And a few that night escaped them to Carrickfergus town.
E(Drone)
When Autumn gold lay in the woods and the berries ripe and red
E
McKenna and his own true love in Glaslough church were wed
E A E
And never in her father's hall a fairer bride was seen
E A E
Than McKenna's only daughter his darling young Maureen.
