A Song
“Attend my galland Irishman,”
I
Attend my galland Irishmen,
Attend my native news,
Although my song be sorrowful,
I hope you will me excuse,
It been on a summers morning,
By the dawning of the day,
O left my father's residence, to wander far away,
As I viewed those fertile hills; I never more would see.
I surely thopught my heart would brake,
When leaving Glancalee.
II
Fairwell unto dark Donegal, likewise my father's land,
In dreams I oft times see her hills her towns and mountains grand,
But alas three thousand miles away, lies between our hill and me,
In a foreign isle I am doomed to toil
Far, Far from Glanacalee.(continues on next page)
