    Dunmanus by M Hegarty
    Evergreen and fair Dunmanus
    O'er your hills I long to stray
    And around your sheltered harbour
    Where the winter was like May
    Oh to roam along that quarter
    Where the lofty castle stands
    And to see the rippling waters
    O'er the bright and silvery sands
    Pleasant times were in Dunmanus
    When the boys would step genteel
    The charming Bantry hornpipe
    And the sporting Bandon reel
    There was football in the Prairie
    And a dance house in Dreenane
    And on Sunday ever we went sailing
    O'er the bay to Kilcrohane.
