DUNGANNON

HERE'S TO THE LUCK OF THE IRISH
WEARING THE GREEN WITH GREAT PRIDE
HERE'S TO THE LUCK OF THE IRISH
WELL AT LEAST FOR THE ONES THAT SURVIVED

AND WE ALL LEFT WITH MY SISTER MARIE
ON THE WHITE SHIP SHE DID CATCH DYSENTERY
DUMPED OVERBOARD WITH HER OLD ROSARY
SHE NEVER CAME TO DUNGANNON

AND THE BAND PLAYED GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN
THEN WE WERE LOCKED UP INSIDE QUARANTINE
ONLY THE FEW THAT WERE DEEMED TO BE CLEAN
SAW THE GREEN HILLS OF DUNGANON

AND WE ALL WORKED IN OUR NEW PROMISED LAND
FELLING THE FORESTS AND TILLING BY HAND
WE RAISED SOME CROPS BUT MOST WENT WEST TO PAN
THERE'S NOBODY LEFT IN DUNGANNON
