W:Fare you well to old Ireland since I must leave the shore.

W:Oh there is one thing that do grieve my heart sore.
W:That's to go and leave that charming pretty girl I adore.
W:But there is one the more that still runs in my mind,
W:That's to think I should leave Kilkenny behind.
W:
W:Kilkenny is a fine place it lies in the West,
W:And the more I think on it - it lies in my breast,
W:But now I am in London so far from my home,
W:In Kilkenny I've a true love but here I have none.
