  1. (continued from previous page)
    I have travelled Molranny,
    Ballycroy and Tiranaw.
    Through Newport, Wesport, Glenhest and Castlebar.
    I took myself through Galway,
    And along the Western shore.
    On Achill hill (I did stand still)
    I did stand still,
    To view old Carrowmore.
    VII
    No fairer spot than Carrowmore.
    Nor noble hearts inveigh
    Who seek an honest living
    Along its winding ways
    I wish to God I'll see the day
    When Ireland will be free once more;
    I would decorate each rank and state,
    Beside the Lake of Carrowmore.
