- Here by the Mulcair banks I sit
Midst the lovely flowers in June
The birds are singing sweetly
And the meadows are in bloom
When of my boyhood days I think
The tears come running down
For in the morning I must leave you
Dear old Newport townIII'll not forget sweet Gortnanoe
Where I often chased the hare
Through Caher Hills and Carrowkeale
On to Cully's mountains bare
And sweet Clare Glens, whose flowery dells
I often strolled through, up and down
Must I leave those scenes, and the girl I love
In dear old Newport townIIIAdieu, adieu, sweet Newport town
Once more I say adieu
Where many a happy day I spent
With comrades tried and true
And if God spares me I'll return
And when I die my bones will lie
In dear old BallymackergjComposed by Michael Bourke
