    Its there you would hear the thrushes warbling,
    Within the woods of this lovely glen,
    For there is no residence through out this nation could beauty equal sweet Coolnabrinna.

    In time of fouling the games comes fouling, rooling,
    The grouse and patiridge, like wise the hare,
    With huntsmen, sportsmen, like wise game-keepers
    And fine sportation you would find there
    Its there you would hear the fiddles playing,
    The sweet melodian, the fife and drum
    For there is no residence throughout this nation,
    Could in beauty equal sweet Coolnabrinna
