Here we are we've come to call

With pipes and flutes and fiddles and all

In case of death we've even brought a keener

So, if you're glum and feeling down

Just feel like us and act the clown and soon

There'll be a change in your demeanour

I put me money on a horse today

For with the race he'd run away

Or so a friend that's in the know he told me

Twenty lengths ahead at most

He proudly cantered pass the post

But, woe was me, he lost the bloomin' jockey!

Now of all the places I have seen

From China to the Caribbean

Are all across the goat compared to Ireland

From Bally Castle to Tralie, the Corup to the Liffy

There's no where else on earth but like this island

In Hollywood I long to be

No, not the place across the sea

But in county Wickloe, Ireland's lovely garden

Where no pretenders will you find

But decent people warm and kind

And flocks of friendly sheep into the bargain

For your ills don't take a pill

But take it down the road, the hills

And listen to the larks lovely warbling

In the evening in the company

With music in the key of E

You'll be dancing Kerry sets until the morning

Dancing Kerry sets until the morning
