    (continued from previous page)
    May they never know no grief or woe
    Those people round Kilmore

    So now adieu I must leave you
    And go away from thee
    And it breaks my heart that I now must part
    With that village o'er the sea
    I'ts with many a sigh I say good - bye
    And may kind Heaven pour
    Her blessig's down on all of you
    Farewell to old Kilmore.
