  1. When I was in old Dublin,
    under the mater corporal care
    They as had me to know would I like to go
    And share in heaven's delight
    O no said I till I see old Hollyford.
    Five miles from Cappawhite
    The hills they are majestic
    and towering to the sky
    There're gazing on the village street
    That fills my heart with joy
    And if God saves me I'll have a spree
    Once more in Cappawhite
