    As it flows by Gleann Corbraighe
    So far, far, away.
    I strolled down the lane,
    To a spot that was home,
    And the roses still bloom,
    As they do round the globe.
    Till at last I met someone,
    Who called me by name,
    And sure tis a joy,
    To be with them again.
    I could see that old schoolhouse,
    On the road to Athea,
    A few miles from Gleann Corbraighe,
    So far, far, away.
