  1. (continued from previous page)
    And you know that's the brave County Clare, boys.
    Here's to Sligo, and to Down, to Armagh of old renown,
    Here's to Kilkenny famed in story.
    Here's to Wexford, boys for she nearly set all Ireland free
    Here's to Royal Meath and her glory.
    Here's to Galway, and Mayo, that never feared a foe,
    Here's to Wicklow its peaks and its passes,
    Here's to Limerick famed, for its well defended wall
    And still more the beauty of its lasses.
    Here's to gallant Cork, the next County to New York,
    Here's to Roscommon, bright and airy,
    Here's to Westmeath, where a tyrant scarce can breathe
    And here's to unconquered Tipperary.
