  1. Folklore - Song (continued)

    The lakes of Killarney are dear to my heart

    (continued from previous page)
    So plain to be seen
    You can hear the train whistling going down to Gurteen.

    So rally with me boys and it's there you will find
    That there is one spot in Ireland that I have left behind.
    There is the home of O'Connell our patriot so bold
    With the martyer of Ireland
    His name is enrolled
    VII
    When you next go to Berrings
    Your attention is drawn
    To the beauty surrounding that I am going to call
    There is a pictureque chapel,
    Both portly and tall
    A school and a "pub" and the georgeus town hall
    With deep desolation in sunshine
