   I
   Welcome to me my coat of Frieza
   More dear than gold I do thee prize,
   For thou wer't sent across the foam,
   By a kind old friend in my native home.
   A friend who loved me the truest and best.
   In that fairy green Island away in the West.
   A friend, the most on earth I prize.
   Has sent thee to me my Coat of Frieza
   II
   Of Irish sheep thou has't been shorn.
   By an Irish Exile thou now ar't worn,
   By an Irish woman thou wer't spun.
   The same who nursed me when I was young.
   The hands that did theee nap or press,
   My infant form did oft caress.
   Not all the gold 'neath Australian skies,
   Would try from me my coat of Frieze
   III
   Enrolled in the gold was a shamrock green,
   Plucked in the Avenue of sweet Liscreen.
   The haunts of my boyhood the place of my birth.
   The fairest, the loveliest, green spot of the earth
