Kind friends and neighbours, please pay attention.
To a bit of poetry which breaks my heart.
Iv'e dwelt among you those twenty-two years.

To a foreign shore I am bound to travel,
To seek a fortune while in my bloom.
But if God will spare me, I'll soon return to the friends and neighbours of Knocknagown.
