    To join the raging main.
    And is Scattery sainted holy Fab
    And Vandeleuer's demesne.
    Chorus:
    III.
    Then turn about and face the siuth.
    You'll see the hills of Burrane.
    Beneath those hills,
    There is a grave where sleeps the Callen Ban (?).
    And father west is Besoborough.
    With its great and lordly trees
    Where once there lived a gentleman
    Called Robert Carey Keeves.
    Chorus.
    IIII.
    As I continue gazing around through hill and grove
    You'll see St. Senan's Lake and well.
    And blessed burial grounds,
    Its a place that we are proud of.
    And can every stranger tell.
