  1. My Cottage Home by Lough Sheilin's Side

    Share Share Post
    This song was composed by Mr. Denis Keane. Co. Kerry
    I
    Farewell my country, a long farewell
    My vengence fierce no tongue can tell,
    For I must roam o'er the ocean wide
    From my lovely home by Lough Sheilin's side.
    II
    From the village dance, and the shamrock plains
    And blind O'Leary's enchanting strains
    No harp like his could so emptly play
    Or no foot as light as my Eileen's gay.
    III
    Now I've been proud of my girl so tall.
    For she'd been admired by the young men all
    When I brought her home a smiling bride.
