| Cricklewood Cricklewood | |
| You stole my youth away | |
| I was young and innocent | |
| You were old and grey | |
| Come all you true born Irishmen and listen to my song | |
| I am a bold buck navvy and I don’t know right from wrong | |
| Of late I’ve been transported from Ireland’s holy shore | |
| My case is sad my crime is bad I was born poor | |
| If you are born poor me lads it is a shocking state | |
| The judge will sit upon your crime and this he will relate | |
| I find the prisoner guilty and the law I must lay down | |
| Let him be transported straight away to Camden Town | |
| Take him down to Cricklewood and leave him in the pub | |
| Call the barman landlord then propose to him a sub | |
| Leave him down in Cricklewood mid mortar bricks and lime | |
| Let him rot in Cricklewood until the end of time. | |
