I felt enchanted by the scene of grandeur and delight
So I strolled on to Carrick Ton before the dark of night
I passed Sheemore, that fairy hill, where flowers fine to grow
And I saw the grave of Finn MacCool where the Shannon waters flow
I next did visit Fenagh town with her famous abbey walls
Where the teaching of the holy monks once echoed thro’ her halls
I stood with reverence on the spot, reluctant far to go
From the town of Saints and Sages where the Shannon waters flow
My eyes are dimmed and wet with tears – I must be dreaming still
I thought I saw those heroes who died on Selton Hill
But the fog is lifting from the scene, and I am forced to go
And leave the land so fair and grand where the Shannon waters flow
In all the lands that I have been, throughout the East and West
In all the lands that I have seen, I love my own the best
And if I ever return again the first place I will go
Will be to lovely Leitrim where the Shannon waters flow
