    My heart is surely captured
    With the Rose of Avelbane.

    If I had you lovely Teresa away in Innisowen
    Or away in some lonely valley
    In the wilds of Tyrone
    I would do my endeavours
    To work my plan and gain prize
    And rest my eyes
    On the Rose of Avelbane.

    Farewell bonney Lifford.
    Where the sweet Mourne waters flow
    Farewell to one brown haired girl
    Farewell and God bless you now
    My Rose of Avelbane.
    Lena Doonan Killcrow Clontibret, from her mother Mrs. Doonan.
