    Killarney

    You brave sons and daughters
    of Erin so pleasing.
    With bright smiling features
    In every degree
    Ill sing a few verses
    With the greatest of pleasure
    If you pay attention and listen to me
    11.
    The thirty two counties of Ireland I travelled
    And crossed oer the Channel
    To have a good view
    The sceneries of Killarney
    Are so brilliant and charming
    I have not seen finer
    In all I went through.
    111.
    There is Lord Kenmare's mansion
    Exceedingly handsome
    Erected most grandly
    Upon a green hill
    The splendid Cathedral
    All dazzling beneath it.
    You can't find its equal
    Go where you will.
