   I
   There is a place I love so dear
   as no one yet can tell.
   Banada is the nicest spot that I always
   love so well.
   Where in childhood days I worked
   with joy when in my youth and prime
   But alas: I had to turn my back
   and face a foreign clime.

   2nd.
   When I went to Tubber Station
   the tears came freely down.
   My heart felt sad and lonely till
   I landed in Queenstown
   My youthful days I did recall to
   my heart they had clung.
   As oft, I watched the jet Black
   crows as they fed their little young.
   3
   To stand at the bridge in Banada
   that spans the River Moy.
