    I
    What does this whistle still reveal
    We're coming to a station
    Tis just a suburb, Abbeyfeale
    We're near our destination
    Those men who stand outside the gate
    Seem anxious for to meet me.
    They're Dad and Mike who there await
    With a great big hug to greet me
    God bless you, son, you're welcome home
    You look the same as ever
    Nor time nor clime, where'ere I roam
    Can change me, Dad, no, never
    But six long miles we've got to go
    We'll start off in a minute
    Get busy Mike, dont be so slow
    Go tackle up the jennet
