  1. You will met kind people around Navan.
    And you'll met them all kind round Athy;
    O'h, but give me the homesteads of Cavan
    With the smoke curling up to the sky.
    And give me the long, lonely boreen,
    That enas with the cottage of thatch
    And the kind word: God save you astoreen.
    When your finger is pressed on the latch.
