   It was there I halted, being tired and exhausted
   From boating and walking now, as you my see
   I had a few shillings in coppers and silver
   And at Patrick O'Sullivans I went on the spree

   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.
