- (continued from previous page)To wander far away
A some do sleep on an alien shore
Where some shamrocks o'er them bloom
Far from the friends they'll meet no more.
Round lovely sweet Drumgoon.

Curse on the laws that forces us
In foreign lands to dwell.
And leave green Erin's Isle behind.
The land we loved so well.
O God above this exile pray.
May that day dawn soon
When freedom soon will come beaming.
O'er you, lovely sweet Drumgoon
This song was made by Larry Caralon Kilatee, now dead. He was a monitor in Dernakesh school about forty years ago.
