Ye mountains and glens of Old IrelandA
I've returned home to ye againB
During my absence from yeC
My heart always felt great painD
-
Oh how I long'd to see you dear NoraE
And the old folks at homeF
And the beautiful Lakes o' KillarneyD
Where we oft together did roamF
-
Ye beautiful Lakes of KillarneyD
Ye are welcome to me againD
I will now reform my characterG
And from all bad company refrainD
-
Oh how I have long'd to see my old fatherG
And my mother dearer than allH
And my favourite dog CharlieC
That wont to come at my callH
-
Ye green hills and lakes of Old IrelandA
Ye are dearer than life unto meC
Many sleepless nights I have hadI
Since my banishment from theeC
-
But to night I will see the old folksJ
And my dear Nora tooK
And she and I will get marriedL
And I'm sure we will never rueK
-
And we may have plenty of childrenD
And for them I will work like a manD
And I hope Nora and I will live happyC
And do the best we canD
-
For my own part I will never grumbleM
But try and be contentN
And walk in the paths of virtueK
And remember my banishmentO
-
And at night at the fireside with NoraE
I will tell her of my limbs being boundP
And all my great hardships enduredQ
And how I was lash'd like a houndP
-
And when my story is endedR
Nora will sympathise with her tearsS
Which will help to drown my sorrowT
And help me through coming yearsU
