    That never was there before
    To see me back in the Co. Cork
    In the valley of Anagore

    I cannot get a wink of sleep.
    My mind is so upset.
    And often when I wake at night.
    My eyes with tears are wet.
    It was not that way at home at all.
    In the happy days of o'er.
    In that little cot in the Co. Cork
    In the valley of Anagore.

    I think my limbs would straighten up.
    My heart with pleasure bound.
    The moment that I put my foot.
    Once more on Irish ground.
    And what a thrill it would be.
    To open again the door.
    In that little cot in the Co. Cork
    In the valley of Anagore.
