- (continued from previous page)I have not praised that river
But I wished you all had seen
You would pick it as a favourite
From that beautious home Tureen
You would keep it in your memory
And again you would long to see
The rich and fertile borders
Of that the river Gleann Dá FhiadachVI
It is there I have seen the oxen and the engines ploughed fire
While around the road our rebel boy's
Played patrick's band of Lyre
It is they that played some Irish tunes
That Ireland should be free
And the beautious scene in Cork
Is the river Gleann Dá FhiadachVII
And if Elbow lane is still the same
As it was when I was there
When I heard the bells of Shandon
Sending echo to Banteer
And all along Duhallows plains
That seem so fair to me
So until memories cease
I'll sing the praise of the river Gleann Dá Fhiadach
