And when the silver hazels stir they say the fairies sigh,
Kilfenora, Kilfinnane, Kinnity, Killylea,
Kilmoganny, Kiltamagh, Kilronan and Kilrea,
Killashandra, Kilmacow, Killiney, Killashee,
Killenaule, Killmyshall, Killorglin and Killeagh.
Leave the little villages, o’er the black sea go,
Learn the stranger’s welcome, learn the exile’s woe,
Leave the little villages, but think not to forget,
Afar they’ll rise before your eyes to rack your bosoms yet.
Moneymore, Moneygall, Monivea and Moyne,
