    America.
    It is there I'll meet with some of them the boys whom I adore
    For when-e'er I drink I fondly think
    On the boys of Caramore.
    XIV
    It is their fun and merriment that causes me to speak
    They were my only company at either dance or wake
    If you were going to take a rest you could neither sleep or snore
    With their sport and fun until the rising sun
    The boys of Caramore.
