  1. Though I have travelled many lands
    Far over in Australian strands.
    My thoughts turn to Erin when my days toil is o'er,
    I have travelled Great Britian o'er and o'er
    I am now in Columbias Shore
    Tis the birthplace of freedom and famed Washington
    Scenes of splendour I have met
    Amongst them all I can't forget
    A vine covered cottage with roses quite rare
    It stands on a pleasant vale
    Far o'er the seas in Innisfail
    Tis the home of my childhood in my sweet Co Clare.
    II
    I love my country true and true
    From Look Head to Killaloe
