   Young men and maids come lend aid, and listen for a while These simple lines I will pen down, in praise of Erin's Isle That blooming land on whee you stand, it is fit for any queen It would rise your heart for to roam a start around Duharra hills so green II That land was blessed by the bravest, and the best Saint could be found It was St. Patrick blessed it, and he planted buds throughout That was the three leafed Shamrock, that never yet was seen To grow as plentiful anyy place, as Duharra hills so green III It is there you will find the labouring men, prepared with back and spade For to enter any garden field he never was afraid He could drive the spade to the maker's name and the like was never seen For the men are as strong as horses, around Duharra hills so green.
