    On Kathleen's fall, she did recall.
    And she descending from the rock.
    With saintly voice said Souls Rejoice
    And go to Heaven from Glendalough.

    Then from that place we did retrace.
    Beneath the bed and saintly rock.
    With boat and oars we came on shore.
    All singing praise to Glendalough.
    Chorus

    To the Hotel up to the Rock.
    And then drove down to Roundwood town
    Postillion style from Glendalough.
