Sweet King Williams Town |
My bonnie barque floats light and free |
Across the surging foam |
It bears me far from Innisfail |
To seek a foreign home |
A lonely exile traveller |
'Neath misfortune’s cruel frown |
Away from home and the friends so dear |
In sweet King Williams Town |
While here upon the deck I stand |
And watch the surging foam |
Kind thoughts arise all in my mind |
For friends I’ll ne’er see more |
For childhood days and all happy hours |
As fast the tears roll down |
For my old home and the friends so dear |
In sweet King Williams Town |
Shall I no more gaze on that shore |
Or view those mountains high |
Or gaze along Black Water’s banks |
Where I roamed as a boy |
For to view the sun over Knockacummer |
Light up the heather brown |
Before she flings her little farewell beams |
Over sweet King Williams Town |
