    daughter the pride of "Fuchsia Hill"
    VIII
    Oh you are a man of honour and very well it is known
    Disgraceful William Murphy that came begging from Tyrone
    Now I'll comb back my old grey locks I'll drink another gill
    And bad luck may light on Murphys that live on "Fuchsia Hill"
    IX
    Come on you airy bachelors both airy, light and free.
    I would have you to shun night walking likewise bad company
    For as I now do die of grief my eyes with tears do fill
    Since I depart from my sweetheart the pride of "Fuchsia Hill"
    Compsed by Thomas Ward on the 20th December 1909.
