   I
   Dearest loved one, Im here but still lonesome
   While thinking of you far away,
   You're exiled by the hand of oppression
   Three thousand miles over the sea
   While I set here I'm still thinking
   As the stream flows along to the tide
   Of the days of my youth near sweet Sligo
   On the banks of the sweet mountain side

   II
   Oh, I'd love for to rove through these bowers
   The gardens and lanes all around
   I knew every person was in it
   From the new bridge up to the town
   O surely, they were all kind-hearted
   And it's there I would love to reside
   In the home of my youth near sweet Sligo
   On the banks of the fair mountainside

   III
   There you never need cultivate flowers
   In the fields they spontaneously grow
   And the milkmaid she joins in sweet chorus
   With the linnet the lark and cuckoo
   In the hawthorn hedges all crimson
