  1. (continued from previous page)
    And off to America I must repair,
    And leave all the friends of the Rambler from Clare.
    Farewell to my comrades, wherever you be,
    And likewise, my sweetheart, young Sally Magee;
    Our sails they are spread, and the wind it blows fair:-
    "He's gone God by with him - he's the Rambler from Clare!"
