   Ah, dear old friends of long ago - God bless your hearts tonight,
   How 'oft I feast my weary eyes, in fancy's magic flight.
   Upon the green fields where we strayed, the rugged mountains brown,
   And ivied walls round Desmond Halls by sweet Newcastle Town.
   -------------------------------------
   And how I'd love to tread the slopes I 'oftimes trod before,
   Or meet those kindly friends of old I never shall see more;
   But perhaps I'm now forgotten there, as weary years years have flown,
   Since last I gazed with tearful glance on you Newcastle Town.
   ------------------------------------------
   This land I roam, o'er ocean's foam, is beautiful to view,
   With rolling plains of golden grain, bright flowers and sunshine too;
   And yet, from all those wondrous sights thro' fortunes smile or frown,
   My longing heart doth still fly back to you - Newcastle Town.
   -----------------------------------
   Ah yes this is a lovely place - a heaven favoured clime,
   Here nature smiles the whole year long - 'tis summer all the time,
   With orange groves and spreading palms - the vines a drooping down;
   But gladly would I give them all for you - Newcastle Town.
   ----------------------------------
   Farewell to thee Newcastle West - one lingering last adieu;
   Where friends were ever plentiful, yes, loving, kind and true;
