- Mulroy Bay.
When the golden sun was setting far behind the ocean blue
The silvery moon was rising o'er the hills of glistening hue;
I often dream of Ireland and my home now far away,
And the bonny purple heather near the banks of Mulroy Bay.Oh! that little old thatched cottage with its doors so neat and small,
As it nestles in a valley midst the hills of Donegal,
Oh: the day I sailed from Erin on that morning dark and gray,
When I bade farewell to Mary on the banks of Mulroy Bay.I will often dream of mother sitting near the cottage door -
My sisters and my brothers as they wander round the shore
On a bonny summer's evening in a dear land far away,
And the fishing boats at anchor near the banks of Mulroy Bay.(continues on next page)- Collector
