Green be thy Woods Leamlara all
Bright visions you will carry
Of thy sweet lakes and waterfall
Where lovers long will tarry
There nature first the woodlands deck
From Clash to Cúil a Yara
And wild flowers bloom with sweet perfume
In beautious bright Leamlara2.
What joy when Ormond claimed the hand
Of Pretty Young Miss Barry.
And took her to his castle grand
In darling sweet Tipperary.
But oh, what joy when Cromwell said,
Protect the great De Barra.
His broad Demesne let him maintain
In peace, in sweet Leamlara.3.
The Castle and the upper lake
Its Bulwarks now are scattered
Where Barres flag and proudly wave
Before its walls were battered
When that proud Chief Mcartys Reagh
Marched round by old Knockraha
McCarthy's might did vanquish right
That night in Sweet Leamlara.(continues on next page)- Collector
