    (continued from previous page)
    And fast flows the tears of affection.
    For the friends I am leaving behind,
    Lest peace ever came with the morrow
    And life seemed a pleasure to me.
    And now I am leaving in sorrow,
    Carrigbyrne, my heart lies in thee.
    (Chorus)
    Now o'er the Atlantic's stark ocean
    I must venture o'er to seek rest
    It must now be the home of a stranger
    Instead of the home he loved best
    The beautiful star spangled banner
    Shall wave o'er the brave and the free
    I cannot forget in a manner,
    Carrigbyrne, my heart lies in thee.
    (Chorus)
