5     -6-6   -6  -6   -7   7   -7 7   
 While goin'  the road to sweet Athy, 
 
-6  6   5  6 
hurroo, hurroo 
 
 
5     -6-6   -6  -6   -7   7   -7 7   
 While goin'  the road to sweet Athy, 
 
-8  8   7  8 
hurroo, hurroo 
 
 7     8 8    8   8   8  -8    -8-8  
 While goin' the road to sweet Athy 
 
 
-8   7   7  7    7   
 A stick in me hand  
 
 
7    7  -7  -7 -7 -7
and  a tear in me eye 

 8 -8  7   -7  6  -6   6  -6  
 A doleful damsel I heard cry, 
 
-6  -6 -6 -6   6  -6  -6 
Johnny I  hardly knew ye.
