- Down by the Mulcair banks I strayed
One early day in June
The birds were singing cheerfully
And the meadows were in full bloom.
'Twas on my childhood days I thought
And the tears came rolling down
For in the morning I must leave you
Dear Old Newport Town.My heart grows lonely as I pass
Each lad and lonely lass
That once did greet me warmly
On my way to early Mass
With their cunning ways and greeting as
They pass me up and down
Must I leave my friends and the girl I loved
In Dear Old Newport Town.(continues on next page)
