- (continued from previous page)They'll seat you near the fire and of yoi they'll make their own
He's hard to please and cool at heart that won't feel quite at home
You'll ne'er forget a term spent among those heathery hills
Where healthy sport and dances old shall banish all your ills
They suffer bravely in their hearts and never wear a frown
Those are the kind of folk you'll meet on the hills above the town

In far off California our loved ones will be found
But they left their hearts in Erin on the hills above the town
We'll keep and guard them tenderly, until they do return
And they'll find a welcome as of yore where the cheery peat fires burn
Both night and morn our prayer will be, Return when God wills, but may
