The Hill of Knocknashee.
Dear friends we meet in love to night on Columbia's tranquil shore.
Ten thousand miles from Ireland's hills
We'll never see the more.
But dearer still is that fair hill
Than any other to me.
In our own home in Ireland
We call it Knocknashee.

How dear to me the memories
Sweet recollection brings.
And hoe I list the live long day
To the thrush and blackbird sing
How oft used the cuckoo call
From out the holly tree
And how sweetly the re-echoed sound
The Hill of Knocknashee.

How I viewed the cornfields
All blooming in their pride
