  1. Of all the places on this earth
    'Tis here I'd like to roam
    'Midst those beechen shades and flowery glades
    I'd like to have my home
    Could I spend my lot divine
    'Midst those beauty shade and sunkissed glades
    Of Charming Sweet Fishmoyne.
    To wander here in Summer time
    In the balmy evening hours
    Embower in green from Kilfithmone
    To Ballanonty's bowers
    The roses' perfume scent the air
    The tall trees rise sublime
    The lilac makes a beauty spot
    Of Charming Sweet Fishmoyne.
    To wander by the winding lake
    When the sun is going down
    Behind you western green hills, fair
