  2. Farewell Sweet Erin's flowery Plains, as I must go away and cross the broad Atlantic going to America.
    I little though in Childhood's days
    That I'd be forced to roam and leave dear friends behind me In my lovely Killeen home.
    Farewell unto Camross and lovely Cardtown
    While wrapped in Morpheus nightly
    Its often of you I dream
    They may have their golden treasure
    When they cross the ocean's foam
    But I'd rather live in poverty
    In my dear old Killeen home.
