- (continued from previous page)Behind the western sea
The sky larks song was in the air
But brought no joy to me
The lad I loved is gone forever
And left his home and kin
He fought till death and then he left
The Woodlands of Loughglynn.

He was a true bred Irish man
John Bergin was his name
He belongs to Tipperary
And from Nenagh town he came
But now Thank God that he is dead
He's free from harm and sin
He let them have his parting shot
In the woodlands of Loughglynn

Mc Dermott he being brave and true
From the hills of Ballinagare
He's missed at many a fireside
At home both near and far
He's missed at home in Tully too(continues on next page)
