- Come all you loyal comrades, come listen for a while,
Till I relate the praises of a spot in Erins isle,
Its there I saw the daylight first when around me it did dawn,
On that lovely little valley round the Lane of sweet Aubane.
II
To leave that spot will break my heart and cross over the raging main,
And to leave behind, my parents kind, whose tears will fall like rain,
But when we land on the American shore there'll be cheers by each and all,
For those brave young rattling heroes from the Lane in sweet Aubane.
III
There's many a handsome Cailín around those pleasant glens,
Their voices sweet and melodius yould hear the valleys ring,
They will ring the valley from the dark until the dawn,
Those handsome pretty colleen's round the Lane of sweet Aubane
