    Sweet Cappamore
    Sweet Cappamore my native place, you are always in my mind.
    Iwill think of you wherever I go and one I left behind.
    I often think of boyhood days, those happy days of yore.
    When being a boy, I roamed with joy, through dear old Cappamore.
    II
    In bygone days I went to school, in dreams we have them still.
    For with my comrades full of glee, we climbed Dromsally hill.
    But now alas through far away, I will climb that hill no more.
    Nor listen to the larks loud song, that sings round Cappamore.
