    And my dear old home be mine no more,
    In the Bogs of sweet Derreen.
    IV
    So now we must get ready,
    For fear we would be late.
    The morning train for Foynes will leave,
    At twenty-five past eight.
    Good bye, God bless you old Ireland,
    You star light ocean queen.
    And a fond farewell to all who dwell.
    In the Bogs of sweet Derreen.
