  1. The villages of Muskerry by hill and winding stream,
    The lovely little villages that make the wanderers dream.
    Famed Aghabullogue and Rylane and Carraig by the Lee,
    And Peake beside the gentle stream where I would like to be.
    2.
    The villages of Muskerry that nestle in the shade,
    The pretty little villages where history was made.
    Lisarda and Dooniskey and Kilumny near the Bride.
    Delightful Farran and Farnanes beside the green hillside.
    3.
    The villages of Muskerry, ah! tis there we would forget.
