“Where is now the merry party I remember long ago”
(continued from previous page)peeping out at me
From England to America across the seas I roamed
And every shilling that I earned
Och sure I sent it home
My mother could not read nor write
But it came to Father Joyce
O heaven bless you Pat said she
I hear my mother's voice
But now I am going back again as poor as I began
To make a happy girl of Moll
And that I think I can
My pockets they are empty
And my heart is filled with joy
For old Ireland is my country and my name it is Pat Molloy.Remember the Glories of Brian the great.
Remember the Glories of Brian the great

Tho' lost to Mononia and cold in the grave
He returns to Kincora no more
The star of the field which so often had poured its beam on battle is set(continues on next page)
