    Then take the exile's last farewell
    Where my parent's bones do rest
    In the holy ground and sacred ground
    Convenient to Coole West.

    I hear the angel's silvery voice
    While whistle in the gale
    And soon I place myself abroad
    Near the train at Abbeyfeale
    I take a look at all my friends
    And the one that I loved best
    For perhaps I feast my eyes no more
    On my lovely Sweet Coole West

    Now as there is but one thing for me to do
    To cross the ocean foam
    To that distant land across the sea
    Where the Irish find a home and do not roam
    While life flows in your breast
    For you have friends to welcome you
    At home in Sweet Coole West
