   They're delightful it can't be denied
   Round the home of my youth near sweet Sligo
   On the banks of the fair mountain side

   IV
   Oh its well I remember in Winter
   To see the turf fire burn bright
   The white-washed walls they would be shining
   And the dresser would give you delight
   And the neighbours would smoke and tell stories
   I have often times laughed till I cried
   At the fairy tales told in my dear home
   On the banks of the dear mountain side

   V
   Oh its well I remember those bowers
   With school mates I oft times did play
   In the days of my youth near sweet Sligo,
   But they're nearly all gone far away
   While some like myself love to travel
   To seek for existence denied
   By tyrant laws that left us to roam
   Far away from the dear mountain side.
