A Song (continued)
“Farewell a while my native glen in storied old Glen Rí.”
(continued from previous page)With the "Rose of Knockavo".V
When Ill come back to Erin's Isle a full blown Yankee guy.
I'll visit all the dear old haunts I knew when I a boy.
And Dennie Mike, and Johnie too, If they be still your foes.
Their blood I'll spill down Lizzie's hill.
For the "Rose of Knockavo."VI
In accents sweet dear Nellie spoke and thus addressed poor Free.
"To sail from home to a foreign shore, I never would agree.
So make a stand and get the land. or I'll never with you go.
You must forget your own dear pet.
Sweet "Rose of Knockavo".""Knocavoo" -- Knockavorheen. Kiskeam.
