When I was on horseback, wasn't I pretty?
2
When I was on horseback, wasn't I gay?
3
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City
4
And met with my downfall on the fourteenth of May?

Six jolly soldiers to carry my coffin
6
Six jolly soldiers to march by my side
7
And it's six jolly soldiers, take a bunch of red roses
8
Then for to smell them as we march along
9
Beat the drum slowly and play the pipes only
10
Play up the dead-march as we go along
11
And bring me to Tipperary and lay me down easy
12
I am a young soldier that never done wrong
13
When I was on horseback, wasn't I pretty?
14
When I was on horseback, wasn't I gay?
15
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City
