Local Songs - The Rover (continued)
“No more no more in Castle town”
(continued from previous page)But no more no more this land shall know
My name as the Merry Rover
Five hundred farewells to Fatherland
To my loved and lovely Island.
And to Culach boys they 'a better stand
Her guards by glen and highland.
But now that I am poor and lone
A wanderer not in clover
My heart it sinks with bitter moan
To have ever bined a rover,
In pleasant Kerry lives a girl
A girl whom I love dearly
Her cheeks arose her brows apearl
And her blue eyes shine so clearly,
Her long fair locks fall curling down
