  1. Emigrant's Farewell

    Share Share Post
    Farewell to sweet Galbally. I now must bid adieu.
    Farewell to you sweet Gleniffy, and to your green hills too.
    Farewell to your sweet Galtees high, I ne'er shall see you more.
    Farewell, adieu sweet Aherlow , I am bound for a foreign shore.
    II
    Many a pleasant day I spent down by the river-side
    My fishing hook, and tackle and my supposed young bride
    And as I passed with a broken heart I see
    The verdant hills of Anna nd you Sweet Galbally
