    Church
    That topped the neighbouring hill
    The scenes of early boyhood
    As I rambled everywhere
    From O'Briens to Crois na Marbh

    Oh where is the old Master
    Who then used call the rolls
    Who plied the cane on us with pain
    And all of us controlled
    Who gave to us good counsel

    And told us how to fight our way
    Through lifes rough stormy ways

    We also miss poor Father Tom
    Who then we did hold dear
    To us he was a noble friend
    Both honest and sincere
    He sleeps beneath his little Church
    Wherein he'll preach no more
