    Sweet Coothill Town
    Now fare you well sweet Cootehill town,
    The place where I was born and bred
    Thro shady groves and flowery hills
    My youthful fancy did serenade
    But now I'm bound for Amerikay
    A country that I never saw
    Those pleasant scenes I'll always mind
    When I am roving far away
    11.
    The pleasant hills near Cootehill town
    Where I have spent my youthful days
    Both night and day I took delight
    In dancing and in harmless plays
    But while I rove from town to town
    The memory in my mind shall stay
    Of those pleasant happy youthful hours
