   And a dance every night with true sons
   So that's not bad (of the geal
   For a lad of my size.
   Don't think for a moment that I'm telling lies
   My muse has forsook so I'll put out the light
   Pleasant dreams comrade Shaun and a glorious good-night

   The Slieve Bloom Mts are rare to be seen. Above all other mountains it bears a great name. For a fishing and a fowling and a hunting also, and the finest of fruit on those mountains do grow. On the top of this mountain a fair castle does stand. 'Tis embroidered all over from the top to the land. With torches in porches and the lamp shining bright. 'Tis a signal for sailors on a dark rainy night. At the foot of this mountain the main ocean does flow. And ships from the West Indies to Derry do go. With the red flags a flying and the firing of guns, With the sweetest of music and the beating of drums.
