- (continued from previous page)And fast flows the tears of affection.
For the friends I am leaving behind,
Lest peace ever came with the morrow
And life seemed a pleasure to me.
And now I am leaving in sorrow,
Carrigbyrne, my heart lies in thee.(Chorus)Now o'er the Atlantic's stark ocean
I must venture o'er to seek rest
It must now be the home of a stranger
Instead of the home he loved best
The beautiful star spangled banner
Shall wave o'er the brave and the free
I cannot forget in a manner,
Carrigbyrne, my heart lies in thee.(Chorus)
