- (Air: - "Father O'Flynn")There's beautiful Chapels all over the country,
Along by the valleys and over the hills,
In painting and glazing they cannot be beaten,
But the heart of the roll is O'Callaghan's Mills.We know that the clergy are all very tasty,
The shine of their Chapels would free you from sin.
But the beautiful Chapel we've noticed quiet lately,
Is surely a credit to brave Father Quin.The charming exterior has nothing superior,
Surely the finest I've seen in my time.
The sweet decorations of altar and railings,
Around the interior are something sublime.Since Eve ate the apple there's no better Chapel,
Along by the valleys and over the hills,
To gain you salvation or sweet consolation
As the beautiful Chapel that stands in the Mills.The people are free from a great many vices
