DOWN IN KERRY

By Clinton Scollard

Down in Kerry maids are merry,

Down in Kerry maids are fair;

Laughin’ eyes an’ lips o’ cherry

From Feale Water to Kenmare!

Sunny weather in the heather,

Sunny weather everywhere,

Be but man an’ maid together

From Feale Water to Kenmare!

Care a-sheddin’, naught a-dreadin’,

With just one my steps to share,

That‘ s the road that I‘ d be treadin’

From Feale Water to Kenmare!
