    comrades true and friends I knew
    Down round the Woods of Doon.
    IV
    And where are all those old friends gone. Who used to sup with me. Some are dead and some are fled far far beyond the sea.
    But some there are we'll meet again. We will hold a glass there soon. We will toast go-lore and friends of your
    Down round the Woods of Doon.
    This song was composed by John Doyle, Ferbane. He is a farmer aged 40 years.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
