- I am a jolly rover,
I’ve roved both up and down,
I’ve been in all the cities
And in most of all the towns;
I’ve been in Londonderry
and around its northern shore
But I never yet saw anything
Could compare with the Hills of Barnesmore.III’ve been to Ballyshannon

It’s built upon the river bank
Where the ocean there does flow;
I’ve been around its border
And around its northern shore,
But how oft I looked behind me
At the Hills of Barnesmore.IIII have been to Cork city,
The sights there all to see,
It is a very pretty place
Along the river Lee;
It is one of the best harbours
That are in Erin’s shore,
And I think it is three hundred miles(continues on next page)- Collector
