    There is a farm in dear old Ireland
    Near a place called sweet Coolboy
    It's there I spent my childhood days
    Among the fields with glee
    Till poverty soon came over me
    I'm sorry for to state
    Like many more good Irish men
    I was forced to emigrate
    To leave the shamrock shore
    To cross the foam from my Irish home
    The land I did adore
    Our hearts were sad and the weather was bad
    It caused our crops to fail
    To better our lot we're leaving the cot
    In dear old Granuwail.
