- I.
You people of the glorious west,
Pay attention to my song.
I hope you won't be angry
For I want detain you long.
The verses that I'll sing for you
With joy your heart will fill.
For its famed in song and story,
All about Knockerra Hill.Chorus:
I have travelled all through Ireland.
I mean to tell to you,
From Dublin on the Liffey,
To Cork upon the Lee,
But round in all my travells
My heart will never thrill
Till I come back and stand once more
Upon Knockerra Hill.II.
As you stand upon this green old hill.
Some charming sights you'll see.
The country lies for miles around.
From Knock unto Kilkee
The lordly Shannon on its way.(continues on next page)
