  1. The Lake of Carrowmore (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    It's splendid in my view
    And on the road to Barnatra,
    Its waters wet my shoe,
    But to see my friends I go,
    To sweet Glencullen low
    There's nothing there to shade me
    From the Lake of Carrowmore.

    (IV)
    I have travelled all through Erris
    Tirawley and Tyrone
    Through Lough Conn and Lough Corrib,
    I have viewed them one by one,
    Of Donegal said and Antrim,
    Along the Northern shore
    But no place pleases me,
    But the lake of Carrowmore.

    (V)
    The boys around old Bangor
    And where I do resort,
    Are modest fair and gentle
    And very fond of sport.
    All from Sraigh (-) to Bangor
    And as far as sweet Gortmore.
    Where the lovely (-) flows
    From the Lake of Carrowmore.
