    You brave sons ofErin and daughters so pleasing, ¶ With bright smiling features of every degree

    Oh Kerry, sweet Kerry my own native ground, ¶ Where never the name of a traitor was found

    Oh Kerry, sweet Kerry my own native ground,
    Where never the name of a traitor was found
    Send forth your true children, oh send them this way
    For to vote for your own McGillicuddy to day.
    Oh Kerry you know he is faithful and true.
    Oh Kerry he lights with affection for you.
    Oh Kerry your pangs he is eager to say.
    Oh Kerry, elect him, elect him to-day.
    Oh yes, we'll elect him, I hear you with joy
    Responding from Firies and round by Listry.
    I hear your true heroes repeating it o'er
    From Milltown, Molahiffe, and sweet Farranfore.
