- O! then God be with you Kerry,
Where in childhood I played merry,
Listening to the fidler's tuning up,
And resining their (brow) bow.
At the cross-roads we are dancing,
With our colleens shyly glancing,
Just like their Dads and Mothers did,
In Kerry long ago.
II
We'll stroll down to Mary's (did) dairy,
With our hearts so light and airy,
At the churn we'll take our turn,
'Till the butter will overflow.
And through the kitchen we'll retire,
And pick out the biggest liar,
For telling fairy stories of,
Kerry long ago.
