    (continued from previous page)
    She is their relation I need not state to you,
    She is highly traced in genealogy.
    She is an heiress of some noble statesman
    She is lovely Mary from Barrackview
    V
    I was in Kerry and Londonderry
    in Sligo, Antrim, and in Tyrone
    I have sailed o'er the ocean with devotion
    And in all my courses I sleep alone.
    I was in Asia and in many a nation
    that would be tedious to construe
    In my peregrinations I saw none
    fairer than lovely Mary from Barrackview
    This song was related to me by-
    Mr Daniel Twomey,
    Clonmoyle East,
    Coachford,
    Co. Cork.
    Age 49
