There's a lofty mill in this fine arbour
Built by the noble Colonel Hyde
Where servants and special tradesmen
By their kind master are employed
He buys good corn from every farmer.
The Dublin market he has supplied
Long may he live brave noble Arthur
The chief commander of Castle Hyde.
VI
I roamed from Blarney to Castle Bernard
From Thomastown to sweet Doneraile
From Kilmallock to fair Rathcormac
Beside Killarney and Abbeyfeale.
The rapid Boyne, the flowing Nore
The river Shannon and the pleasant Bride
But in all my ranging and serenading
I met no equal of Castle Hyde.
VIIGod bless the Colonel, likewise the Major
For they're an ancient grand family
They're kind and civil to all their neighbours
And they bear the sway of the country.
Long life and health to these noble leaders
And may they daily in coaches ride
For there's no statesman throughout the nation
Can be compared to you Arthur Hyde.
