  1. James Jones Version of Carden's Wild Domain

    Share Share Post
    "Above all the places on the earth its here I'd like to roam
    I love you dear old Erin's Isle my fond dear native home.
    Where'er I roam by night or day still memory throngs my brain

    I will still think on the hours I spent in Carden's Wild Domain

    (II)
    Above all the places on this earth its here I'd like to roam
    Where the pheasant grouse and partridge do find a happy home

    The wild brave hare that rises there and scampers o'er the plain
    To try the swiftness of our dogs in Carden's wild domain.

    (III)
    It grieves my heart to see this land crushed down by tyrants' laws
    To strike a blow for this fair land would be a righteous cause,
    To see her sons and daughters all crossing oe'r the main
    And leaving such a land behind as Carden's wild domain.
