   Many a time I've wandered out
   At clearing of the dawn.
   To hear the blackbird's merry song
   Around Sweet Carrigeen Bawn.
   Or view those wooded islands,
   Where some lovely flowers grow.
   And the graceful swan that glides along
   The waves at Carnadoe.

   Many a man in foreign land
   Today remembers well
   Of happy scenes in childhood days,
   Where peasants there did dwell
   E'er they were forced from their love's housese,
   By Tyrant hands lair low
   To seek another far way
   From smiling Carnadoe.
   V
   And well I do remember,
   When the football game was going,
   And the Kilglass boys, and the Pat Molloys
