- (continued from previous page)The meadows bloom & roses blow
The chequered slopes adorning
While in the covert lies the hare
So timid & so canny
When moonbeams kiss fresh dewdrops
On the hills oer Kilmoganny
The sunny hills - the bonny hills
The Hills oer KilmogannyMy thoughts retreat to bygone days
To my old friends so light-hearted
Whom I so fondly think of still
Tho from me long departed
How sad these parting looks of love
From them Im never free
No more those friends of old will see
The Hill oer Kilmoganny
The balmy hills - the breezy hills
The Hills oer KilmogannyNow I'm happy in my home
Beside a river's border
Where beats a faithful heart for me
And busy hands keep order
Beloved as when I won my bride
When cares I had not many
When summer breezes murmured
To the Hills oer Kilmoganny
The dear old hills - the love-linked hills
The Hills oer Kilmoganny
