When Saint Patrick he lived up in Ulster,
To the South he thought he'd come down.
And where do you think he sought lodgings.
But up in Kildorrery Town.
But when on the road from Kilmallock,
At Ardpatrick he died on the way,
Those who stood by his side,
On the day that he died,
Could hear him distinctly say.Chorus.
"Oh: I'll never get up to Kildorrery,
Though much I had longed to be there,
Sure 'tis only five miles from Ardpatrick,
And three from the cross of Redchair,
Make my grave on the hill of Ardpatrick,
And there let my bones be laid down,
But my soul when I die,
Ere it reaches the sky
Will visit Kildorrery Town."- Collector
