    and fertile is her shore
    My thoughts were still longing for to see the friends around Rathmore
    So I set sail for Ireland to settle down in life
    Where all the joys on earth are found with a fond and loving wife
    V1
    Now I had a pleasant time and my wandering days will end
    Ane the evening of my life will pass away with many a gay old friend
    And I'll often call to Clydagh where boyhood I did roam
    And I'll ne'er forget the friends I left in my own dear home
    John Lynch N.T. was the composer
