    “I love the dear old place where I was born”

    (continued from previous page)
    They are so chaste so choice in taste
    In dear old Killaloe
    As for the boys they would lend a hand
    to set old Ireland free
    To give her peace and nationhood from the centre to the sea.
    II
    Cast your eye where ere you may
    There is beauty everywhere
    From Ogonnelloe's sunny slopes to Keeper bold and bare
    From the summit of old Cragg to its fiery brothers side
    oh, for a lovelier valley you would search the whole world wide
    Chorus etc.
