    (continued from previous page)
    o'er each silent grave do weep.
    There stands a lofty castle with
    its ivy cóta mór.
    It was planted by James Evans
    and the Cawley's of Doo-móre
    IV
    Each night I dream I see that plain,
    they call it Túrlough móre
    The loveliest place beneath the stars
    are the plantings round Doo-móre.
    V
    Doocastle was a lovely place,
    when you and I were young.
    The green fields and the forests deep
    where the small birds sweetly sung.
    Adieu, Adieu sweet Ballindoo,
    and the green hill of Doo-móre.
    VI
    Ive got an invitation for to cross,
    the Atlantic wave.
    Tomorrow morning I must brave
    the deep blue Ocean sea.
