    Ye true sons of Erin and daughters so pleasing
    With bright smiling features of every degree
    Ill sing you a few verses with the greatest of pleasure
    If you only have patience and listen to me.

    The thirty two counties I had travelled around them
    And crossed o'er the Channel to take a full view
    But the scenery of Killarney so brillant and charming
    I had not yet witnessed in all I went through

    Erected most grandly upon the green hill
    And the splendid Cathedral so dazzling beneath it
    You can't find its equal you may go where you will
