    But were I beside the Lee to-night I would quickly find the spot.
    Where Maureen's smiles brought sunshine to her widow's mother's cot
    The sun that let the sunbeams on My own Sweet Cailin Deas.
    Still quick my way I will always pray for my Inchigeela Lass

    You hold what I prize most on earth my Maureen's moss grown grave.
    My present habitation is in Broadway Boston Mass
    Where the buachaill Ruadh was always true to His Inchigeela Lass.
