    And there enjoy the pleasant breeze
    Amidst the humming of the bees
    And ask of thee my life to shore
    My bonnie Lass of Killinkere
    (5)
    To Stucco Hill I love to go
    And watch the river far below,
    And see between me and the sky
    Virginia wind-mill towering high
    (6)
    O'r wander round the hill-side green
    Where flowers fresh and fair are seen
    But far the fairest flower their is
    My bonnie Lass of Killinkere
    (7)
    Oh charming maid though far away
    My thoughts are with thee night and day
    And often in my dreams I see
    Thy face so fair and dear to me
    (8)
    And with thee sweet heart as my guide
    I'd stroll contented by thy side
    My foot steps light and free as air
    My bonnie Lass of Killinkere
