   And then the Plains of Boyle so bright that stretch beyond Lough Key. And when in foreign land I roam I crave no other boon, That once again Lough Key to see and climb the rock of Doon. V O Mary when your winning smile like all the waters blue. Lough Key and all its wooded isles are vanished from my view It's often I think when far way away I see the sun and moon It's often I watched their beams at play above the Rock of Doon. VI O Piper play a merry air, the merriest one you know And for a while we'll chase dull care and let our spirits flow, O time enough my heart will break, O time enough and soon, When fortune far away I seek far from the Rock of Doon

   Tis far away I am to day
   In exile here I roam
   Across the waters wild and wide
   Far from my native home
   The dear old scenes of long ago
   I do remember well
