   there,
   No matter what what they say,
   And if you want a sweetheart
   Just come too Loughlanlea.

   You will find some charming damsels
   Just blooming in their teens
   And if that dont suit the visitor
   There are a few "has means,|"
   You must gently pop the question,
   But dont make such delay,
   For business is a pleasure
   When you come to Loughlanlea

   They will always treat the stranger
   With the luxuries of home,
   And give you information
   Should you feel inclined to roam,
   For all European countries.
   And throughout America,
   Are fully represented
   From around the Loughanlea

   Should you board a big Cunarder
   Near the famous Co. Cork
   You'll never think you're sailing
