   Our hearts were light we knew no care as through the fields we strayed
   But in vain those days have passed away when together we had played.
   IV
   Ah well I do remember when together we used roam,
   O'er the lonely church of Carrig where the woodcock builds his home,
   But nature it seems smiling all o'er it's rocky side.
   And to silvery stream flows down between to join the Slaney's tide.
   V.
   The thoughts of you dear Carrig hills is ever in my mind
   I have travelled this wide world over your equals I can't find,
   With your lofty hills your waters bright 'tis you I do adore,
   So dare thee well dear Carrig hill adieu for evermore.
