  1. Inchigeela

    II have travelled wide across the tide
    In many the clime I've been
    Both Switzerland, Australia and America I have seen
    But the dearest spot in all this earth, when clad in Summer bloom
    Is around my native Inchigeela, near the town of sweet Macroom.

    It is there the birds sing sweeter than in any place I know
    It's castle gravers are charmign in the warm sunny glow
    It's people's hearts are lighter than that place dispels of bloom
    Around my native Inchigeela, near the town of sweet Macroom.

    But the tallest men among them are the O'Leary's of Rosmore
