   And God be wth you Meenie's groves where oft times I have been
   When I rambled through the wild-wood then to pluck the Holly Green
   And to O'Donovan's Castle my thoughts would fondly stray
   Where I used to roam with my sweetheart on many a Christmas Day

   From my father's home in High Street Owen mountains can be seen
   Where the river Illen rises and flows into Skibbereen
   There grows the heather green and wild and many a "Poteen Still"
   Well hidden in the bosom ofOwen's lofty Hill

   In many a field he laboured from the village to Drimoleague
