    When the bus did come there, a seat I did share,
    To that Holy Well outside Dundalk
    And many were the buses and cars that ran,
    That day to that beautiful place called Blackrock

    When the next day did come, I thought I would go home,
    Though holiday-makers were many,
    And I thought of the fun and the week that had gone,
    As the train came to dear Castleblayney.
