  1. (continued from previous page)
    If I am denied a high place in Heaven to fulfil
    I am sure to make room
    For the Rose of Russagh Hill.
    5
    Goodbye to days of boyhood
    And to every friend
    For I fear in this world - is at an end
    And when she never will be mine
    I will remain a bachelor still.
    I will never wed when I didn't gain through affection
    The Rose of Russagh Hill
