    O'Reilly he will meet you there
    And he will tell you all he knows
    About that old historic spot
    Near where the river flows
    He will bring you into Charlie Youngs
    And treat you every man
    Who comes to veiw the wonders
    Round the castle at Rock Bawn

    He very well remembers
    The days of auld Lang Syne
    When in history song and story
    He had heard the chat and chime
    About the war-like bloody deeds
    And tyrants wicked plans
    To desecrate to desolate
    The castle at Rock Bawn
