    The vision of the pilgrims assembled at the well.
    The feeble the blind and the lame
    Came there to kneel and pray.
    They came from scattered hamlets.
    Near dear old Bantry Bay.

    Farewell to dear old Kealkil Cross.
    Where I spent my youthiful days.
    Where my beloved parents taught me to kneel and pray.
    They are sleeping now God rest their souls.
    Near dear old Bantry Bay.

    I pray to God before I die.
    That I may see again.
    A land so dear to Irish hearts.
    That live across the main.
    But fortune seems against me.
    I am getting old and grey.
    I never more shall see my home.
    That lies near Bantry Bay.
