    (continued from previous page)
    In splendour may they shine.
    On the plains of Ballyhahill.
    I can no longer gaze.
    Whilst here alone I sigh and moan.
    So far beyond the waves.
    I long to be remembered to
    The friends I have left behind.
    For as long as I am in America.
    I will bear them in my mind.
    Oh the day we will meet together.
    I long for it to dawn.
    When I will have the pleasure.
    To see my colleen bawn.
