    Her mind like the river is deep, clear and pure,
    Aut her heart is more hard than its marble I'm sure,
    But her heart is more hard than its marble I'm sure.

    Oh! Kilkenny's a fine town that shines where it stands,
    And the more I think on it, the more my heart warms,
    If I was in Kilkenny I'd feel quite at home
    For its there I'd get sweethearts but here I get none,
    For its there I'd get sweethearts but here I get none.
