I dreamt all last night
Oh what's come of my dreaming
I'd die if I thought t'would come surely to pass
I dreamt while the tears down my pillow were rolling
That Teddy was courting another fair lass

And didn't I wake with a weeping and a wailing
The pain in my heart was too deep to conceal
My mother cried Nora dear, what is your ailing
But all I could answer was, Teddy O'Neill

I see the old cabin beyond the wee boreen
I see the old crossroads where we used to dance
How I rambled the lane where he called me his stoirin
And my girlish heart was so full of romance

But now all around it's all sad and dreary
All dark, all silent, no piper, no reel
Not even the sun through the casement shines cheery
Since I lost my own darling, Teddy O'Neill

I remember the day when the big ship was sailing
And the time it had come for my love to depart
How I cried like a child; oh goodbye to you Teddy
With a tear on my cheek and a stone in my heart

He said t'was to better his fate he went roving
But what would be gold to the joy I would feel
If he'd only come back to me tender and loving
Yet poor, but my own darling, Teddy O'Neill
Yet poor, but my own darling, Teddy O'Neill
