    (continued from previous page)
    Ah, there is no place like old Ireland for kindly hearts are there.
    Chorus.
    One ambition still is left him and he guards it in his breast
    'Tis to see his country righted ere he's laid down to this rest
    Chorus.
    Now he's fifty years amongst us five decades for our good.
    And our hearts go out to greet him with Esteem and Gratitude.
    May his days be longer with us and may heaven on him bestow
    Its everlasting blessings for his good deeds here below
    Chorus.
    God bless his life of laboured love: his like we're wanting more. Ect.
