    Where first I knelt to pray
    Whereer I'll be I'll pray for thee
    Be my lot whateer it may.
    When driven from my nature town
    In foreign lands with upraised hands
    I'll pray success to Boyle.
    This song was composed by the late M P Hynes who was Mayor of Port Mackay. There is still living in the Nazareth Home in Sligo a sister of this man.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
