Song (continued)
“Now, here's to Donegal with her peoples fair and tall, To Antrim, to Leitrim and Derry.”
(continued from previous page)IV
Here's to Galway and Mayo, where they never feared the foe,
Here's to Wicklow - her peaks and her passes,
Here's to Limerick famed oer all for its well defended walls,
And yet more for the beauty of her lasses
Chorus.
V
Here's to Sligo and to Down,
To Armagh of high renown.
Here is to Kilkenny famed history,
Here's to Wexford whose brave shores
A crown of dauntless fame,
Then here is to Royal Meath in its glory.
Chorus
King's County too I'll toast,
And the Queen and all will boast,
A place where the invaders had some trouble in,
And now to finish up, let us have another sup,
And drink the health of jolly little Dublin.
Chorus.
