    There are other fine buildings
    It is my intention
    To tell you about them
    And name them as well.
    The Killarney Asylum.
    Where can you get finer.
    The Holy Friars' Chapel
    And the Railway hotel.

    Then moving on southwards.
    Direct towards the mountains,
    Where everything beautiful
    Is to be seen.
    Cahernane by Flesk River
    Its scenes of wild splendour
    And quarries of limestone
    All round Clohereen.
    V1.
    Mucross enchanted
    In exquisite grandeur
    Your eye cant imagine
    its dazzling fine scenes
    Its wild wooded mountains
    Its pure crystal fountains
    Rushing out of the valleys
    of purple and green.
