  1. O Sweet Dunowen (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    It's often on a Sunday boys,
    we always used to go
    But now I am boozing far away across the Atlantic main
    I hope I'll soon return again
    To the land of Inisfail
    Fare-well to Clonakilty
    Likewise to Sandescove
    We grounded there our needle guns but very little knows
    And if I'll e'er return again to see my native home
    We'll spend some happy days together
    On the hills of sweet Dunowen
