  1. (continued from previous page)
    Our forefathers rambled this dear native place
    And told some tales that were grand
    How battles were fought by the chieftains of old
    Round our own native shore
    Down by the Red Strand
    We too will be gone but the strand will remain
    And its beauty for ever will stand
    While the sun in the Heavens will be shedding its rays
    Round our own native shore
    Down by the Red Strand
