  1. Oft, I remember the bright days of yore
    How sweetly those pleasures beguile The ones who frequented my old cabin door.
    The comrades I loved when a child
    In fancy I roam through Mount Massey's green groves.
    And poached by the light of the moon
    Where the lark singing loud
    'Neath that golden tinged cloud
    Oe'r Mount Massey the flower of Macroom
    Chorus
    Chums, come with me
    And its there you will see
    The apple and cherry in bloom
    It's you I'll invite
    Where I first saw the light
    Mount Massey the flower of Macroom
    Chorus
    In the grand Summer time
    When the weather is fine
    What fun we will have at the gate
    Then the music will ring
    And the dance will begin
    And the lovers their love tales relate
