    It would delight the heart of anyone,
    When the college bell would ring,
    I have travelled all through out of the West,
    And part of Ireland round
    I am sure all over this country,
    Its equal can't be found,
    I mean that splendid mansion,
    Where the students do sit down
    And its ancient monuments too,
    For oft times our forefathers
    They went there to kneel down
    Its the only one in Ireland now
    And it stands in Edmonstown.
