    “I'm back again in Glanworth where the Funcheon waters flow...”

    Share Share Post
    I'm back again in Glanworth
    Where the Funcheon waters flow
    Where meadows green are always seen
    And the Summer sun doth glow.
    The rippling rills and heath clad hills
    Will always meet your eye
    From Rockabbeys ruins to Labbacallee Tomb
    That borders sweet Fermoy
    2nd Verse omitted Inserted after one beginning Roche's Castle
    I'm back again in Glanworth
    Where the feathered choir doth sing
    The blackbird and the cuckoo herald first the welcome spring
    And as I stand on Corbally bush
    And view the country round
    I'm glad my footsteps wandered back
    To Glanworth's fertile ground.
    And from its heights I now can see
    Rockabbey's ruins so grand
    Vested in their robes, the finest in the land
