    By Woodlands shade its there I played
    When I was buy a boy
    And its Waterpark and Summerhill
    Oft filled my heart with joy.
    The noble falls my hearts enthralled
    I think I hear the roar
    Of the suirging waves, the lashing spray
    As I did in days of yore.

    But alas Doonass is far away
    Beyond the deep blue sea.
    To think of the Falls only recalls
    Those happy days to me.
