   between Tipperary and Ardmore,
   Where my fore-fathers lived, three thousand years ago.
   When my heart was sad, and sore,
   I took a draught at half past four,
   And I thought of the poor dear hounds
   That I had laid low,
   By the shores of the Avormore.
   IV
   I laughed and laughed with a mighty laugh,
   Until you'd think my heart would break,
   When I thought of the peelar hounds,
   That tracked me night and day,
   It is these, I baulked for many a time, when I wandered far away,
   By the stream which is called the Abha na Séad,
   And by the woods of Avonmore.
