    The Merry Trip to Glendalough
    I

    With sunbeams glittering on each rock.
    Played Patrick's Day and away did sway.
    On a merry trip to Glendalough.

    And we were all ajovial flock
    Our colleens neat showed off most great
    On a merry trip to Glendalough.

    Our steeds went fast without a blast.
    Our jaunting car from shake or shock.
    Played Maggie O through Annamoe
    The charming "bell" of Glendalough
    Chorus
    III

    With ginger beer up to the Knock.
