- That Old Home Town Of Mine.There are beauty spots in Limerick,
That are famed the world o'er,
Sweet Adare and Castle-Connell,
And the castle of Dromore,
But there is one place in my memory,
That in my heart will ever shine,
Its that sweet old spot Kildimo,
My own home town the Line.Go from Limerick back to Tarbert,
And around by Abbeyfeale,
Newcastle-West and Ardagh,
And from that into Rathkeale,
Through Stonehall and Pallaskenry.

But they couldn't hold a candle,
To that old home town of mine.Should you happen to be on your way,
From Limerick back to Foynes,

And if you feel like eating,
The best place in town to dine,(continues on next page)
