    The following verses are not in order.
    How oft I travelled out that way
    To view the hills and valleys gay
    And win a smile from those bright eyes
    That sparkled like the starry skies
    And as the artist passes through
    And views this lovely place
    He'll see its priceless charms
    And its lovely features trace
    Farewell oh lonely village
    With you none can compare
    I travelled many places
    And can't find one as fair.
