Nine a' may, nine a' may, bore a son, on that day
What's his name, tell me what's his name.
Took it from his daddy's grave.

Nine a may, nine a may
Bore a son on that day
What’s his name? What’s his name?
Took it from his daddies grave
Sword and shame, bloody game
War of men and home of flame
In my arms, guiltless child
In my heart a grief so wild
Strongest horse, rode him long
Till he stepped his final song
Troubled heart, stones and soot
End my pain dear poison root
Waters wild, sea of dawn
sail his cradle till I’m gone
When my bones lie bleachin’ white
Sail him through the darkest night
Nine a may, nine a may
Bore a son on that day
What’s his name? What’s his name?
Born to sorrow, died to same
Born to know the briefest day
