Folklore - Song
“The lakes of Killarney are dear to my heart”
I
The lakes of Killarney are dear to my heart
From the green groves of Blarney o' why should I part.
For I sooner live lonely in landscape serene
From the low lands of Dripsey to the lands of Scarteen.
II
There is Macroom Castle the pride of the west
And the fair hills of Carrig with their heath-woven crest
Where in childhood I wandered
With a heart full of glee
Go out through the moorlands of Sweet Canovee.
