    There is all sorts of timber that I now could remember,
    Thats reared in our country and there to be seen,
    There's all sorts of music tuning each morning,
    The small birds do sing upon each Elder tree,
    From England to Asia you would see, dukes and Earls shooting
    the rein-deer in Sweet Carrowkeel.

    Our Hero from Nephin the pride of Creation,
    You heard my neioghbours say that he leaped the River Deel,
    His actions courageous will shine for all ages,
    In History pages,
    Around Carrowkeel.
