  1. (continued from previous page)
    And with age I'm bending down.
    May God be with those pleasant days
    I spent near Castle Browne.

    My playmates I'd like to view
    But some have passed away
    Some of them in foreign lands
    And more rest in Irish clay
    There is but a few I could interview
    When we met my tears rolled down
    When I thought of the pleasant days I spent
    Beside old Castle Browne.

    So to conclude and finish
    I have no more to say.
    It's a land for all both great and small
    Is sweet America.
    The buildings there are beautiful
    In city and in town
    But in all my dreams I still can see
    My home near Castle Browne.
