    (continued from previous page)
    please God it won't be long
    To realise a fortune I'll labour day and night.
    To fill my purse with gold and coin
    most beautiful and bright
    Its then for dear old Ireland my passage boys I'll take
    O back again to Kilglass once more
    and the banks of Ruane lake.
    3.
    So farewell unto fairbank its a midshire of command
    Its rich and smiling prospects of all the following land
    Its over flowing rivers that run through Carnadoe.
    I'll ever recollect of it no matter where I go.
