    And I will go along with you,
    Here is my heart & hand,
    And I'll enjoy my roving boy,
    And from him I ne'er shall part.

    Dear one my friend to you I send,
    A greeting kind and true,
    Altho' to day you're far away,
    I'm thinking still of you.
    The happy days we used to spend,
    Around the roads & lanes,
    And view the cars that run along,
    The main road to Roscrea.
    And on a lovely Summer's day,
    To stand and comtemplate,
    Delahunty's stalwart fortress,
    As seen from Suttons gate.
    Then down the road by Boola's banks,
