- In Eires green Isle far over the ocean,
In the county of Cavan near peaceful Stradone,
I was born and reared there with care and devotion
In a neat little cabin in a loved cottage home.
II
That dear loving spot I shall ever remember
And cherish and foster within my heart's core
For there childhood days I spent happily and tender
I fear I am exiled to see it no more
III
The cruel cursed mandate of dark foul oppresion,
Compelled me to cross over the ocean's afar,
To this mighty nation of civiliztion
To spend my last days neath the stripes and the stars(continues on next page)- Collector
