    Another gone, another fled beyount the surrgiont foam
    Another sped far away to seek a distant home.
    O yes' O yes' he speeding fast before a foreign Gael
    For from the cradle of his youth
    Far Far from Innisfail

    2
    Toward southern clims his bark now bounds.
    Far from his Native Shore.
    And far from friends, and kindrets fonds,
    Perhaps to meet no more.
    And from parents happy home beside Knockcosta hill
    Far from sisters fonds and brothers true.
    And comraids deer in Kill
    Well God be with you Pat avick, beyount the stormy main.
    Your memory formast in my heart.
    Untill we meet again.
    With fate serene and stout resolve
    Thy courage nare did fail
    But noble hearted youth, are fled far from Innisfail.
