- Here by the Mulcair banks I sit mid the lovely flowers in June,
The birds were singing cheerly and the meadows in full bloom,
When on my boyhood days I think as the tears come rolling down,
For to-morrow I must leave you dear old Newport Town.
I grow lonely as I think each lad and comely lass,
Who often did greet me on my way to Holy Mass.
With their winning ways and greetings as they passed me up and down,
Must I leave those scenes and the girl I loved in Dear old Newport Town
Farewell Tipperary's hills and vales from you I now must part
I'll never more rove Cullen's groves the
