  1. Our own native shore down by the Red Strand
    Where e'er I have wandered
    where e'er I have roamed
    Not a place I imagine more grand
    Than this place of enjoyment
    Where we used to stray
    Round our own native shore
    Down by the Red Strand
    The stranger who has travelled to places unknown
    To us and our landscape so grand
    Has come for enjoyment and to breather the fresh air
    Round our own native shore
    Down by the Red Strand
