    (continued from previous page)
    My mind that oftimes fill.
    The Chapel and the old school house,
    Where we learned, and used to pray,
    All came flashing through my mind.
    When I think of Knocknarea,
    At Sligo town that lies so snug,
    At the foot of Knocknarea.
    III
    O Irish men,
    You have the dearest, brightest land on earth,
    Why don't you rise like men and free.
    The dear land of your birth.
    Unite the orange, and the green.
    Unfurl it right away.
    Let it float on high,
    Neath a native sky,
    At the top of Knocknarea.
