    Come up to Mickey Donavan's and then to John Doyle's
    We'll cross the road to Killadoon and home by Hunter Coyle's
    You can lep and dance and Jump and prance by the candle or the moon
    If you go to Moyglare for six months in the year
    You'll never forget Killadoon

    On the Mooneys and the Doorleys the Dailys and the Burkes
