   The daisies in the meadow wave
   In dear old Muckalee

   4
   I see again old Keatingstown
   With Acres down below
   Where Buxtown and Ballintubber
   Joined the dances long ago
   The tillers they are working
   In the fields of Ballintubber
   And the noon-day sun is shining
   O'er the hills of Muckalee

   5
   On the road to Castlegannon
   Withing a hallowed dell
   I see the homestead shining
   Round Knockmoylan and Lukeswell
   And the mail-train goes a puffing
   Trailing smoke o'er glade and lea
   Oft' in days of yore I watched it
   From the hills of Muckalee

   6
   Rochestown and Ballinacooly and Poulanassey water-fall
   The rambling of my boy-hood days
   Their memory now recall
   In the streams of old Clonassey
   Where the trout jumps with glee
