    For they grow fairer every day,
    And bright as the sun at noon,
    On their lips there ever plays a
    smile,
    Through lifetime I would gladly
    toil,
    For a girl from Loughrea town.
    IV
    May misfortune never fine a place,
    Or sorrow ever stray,
    Or sickness ever show a trace
    'Mong the girls of sweet Loughrea.
    May each one ever happy be,
    May all be bright and gay,
    For lovelier maids you could not
    see,
    Than the girls of sweet Loughrea.
