  1. All alone all alone by the wave washing strand.
    All alone in the crowded hall.
    The hall it is gay and the waves are grand.
    But my heart isnt here at all and
    It flies far away by night and by day to the times and the days that are gone
    But I never will forget the maiden that I met in the valley below Sliab na mban.
    It was not the grace of her Queenly air nor the cheek nor the Roses glow
