    One morning in December just at the break of day
    I took out my push bicycle and to Kilkeedy made my way
    I was a stranger to that place but
    soon I was made known
    To all the boys for miles around the
    vales of Derryowen.
    II
    I started from Rathclooney it is the
    place of my abode
    I passed by Kearney's Castle beside
    the Crusheen road,
    Tho' covered now with ivy it is a
    place we can't disown
    You can see it towering in the air
    from the hills of Derryowen.
