   there to {?}
   It's there you'll see true lovers, and
   mark these words I say,
   And if you want a sweet heart, call
   round the Loughan Lay.
   It's there you'll meet some charmers
   and them blooming in their teens
   And if they do not suit you, there is a
   few has been.
   They always threat a stranger with the
   the looks or ease of home.
   And they'll give you information if
   your inclined to roam.

   On the board of a British steamer,
   from the famous cove of Cork,
   you'll never know your sailing
   till your landed in New York.
   You'll feel fatigued and tired out and
   you'll need a good "cubay"
