  1. (continued from previous page)
    I saw the lovely stars and stripes
    Wave proudly overhead
    Where thirty thousand did unite
    To venerate the dead
    And with that flag where freedom smiles
    For fortune I will look
    I will say Good Bye to Erin's isle
    And my friends round Ballinamuck.
