    The ships on the ocean are lovely to see.
    Sailing into Liscannor and crossing Mal Bay.
    Liscannor is a seaport where fishermen dwell.
    And adds to the scenery of St. Brigid's Well.

    St. Brigid's eve as the night fell.
    My mother and I went to St. Brigid's Well.
    Many candles did burn great lights they did shine.
    Round the graves of the dead and the vault of O'Brien.
    VI
    The graveyard is beautiful as you walk along.
    You'll see a grand vault with a door quite strong.
    And right through this door a coffin doth shine:
    Wherein lay the remains of Cornelius O'Brien.
    VII
    Lisdoonvarna's grand scenery is beautiful to see.
    The hills lovely rivers flowing on to the sea.
    The tourists of Ireland of many can tell.
    And the grand sulphur spas and of St. Brigid's Well.
