| [00:12.43] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John |
| [00:21.03] | Your good friend the Schoolmaster Pat McNamara |
| [00:25.83] | So good as to write these words down |
| [00:29.78] | Your brothers have all gone to find work in England |
| [00:35.00] | The house is so empty and sad |
| [00:39.09] | The crop of potatoes is sorely infected |
| [00:43.33] | A third to a half of them bad |
| [00:47.74] | And your sister Brigid and Patrick O'Donnell |
| [00:52.50] | Are going to be married in June |
| [00:56.69] | Your mother says not to work on the railroad |
| [01:00.93] | And be sure to come on home soon |
| [01:05.86] | |
| [01:05.87] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John |
| [01:14.24] | Hello to your missus and to your four children |
| [01:18.68] | May they grow healthy and strong |
| [01:23.05] | Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble |
| [01:27.17] | I suppose he never will learn |
| [01:31.73] | Because of the dampness there's no turf to speak of |
| [01:36.36] | And now we have nothing to burn |
| [01:40.50] | And Brigid is happy, you named a child for her |
| [01:45.00] | Although she's got six of her own |
| [01:49.30] | You say you've found work |
| [01:51.51] | But you don't say what kind |
| [01:53.63] | Or when you'll be comin' home |
| [01:58.42] | |
| [01:58.43] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and eighty, dear Michael and John my sons |
| [02:06.66] | I'm sorry to give you the very sad news |
| [02:12.12] | Your mother has gone |
| [02:15.65] | We buried her down at the church in Kilkelly |
| [02:19.90] | Your brothers and Bridget were there |
| [02:24.02] | You don't have to worry, she died very quickly |
| [02:28.68] | Remember her in your prayers |
| [02:32.82] | And it's so good to hear that Michael's returning with money he's sure to buy land |
| [02:41.51] | For the crop has been poor and the people are selling |
| [02:46.64] | For any price that they can |
| [02:50.50] | |
| [02:50.51] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety, my dear and lovin' son John |
| [02:59.09] | I suppose that I must be close on eighty |
| [03:03.50] | It's thirty years since you've gone |
| [03:07.47] | Because of all of the money you sent me |
| [03:12.12] | I'm still living' out of my own |
| [03:16.38] | Michael has built himself a fine house |
| [03:20.96] | And Bridget's daughters have grown |
| [03:25.35] | And thank you for sendin' your family picture |
| [03:29.92] | They're lovely young women and men |
| [03:34.12] | You say you might even come for a visit |
| [03:38.38] | What a joy to see you again |
| [03:44.43] | |
| [03:44.44] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety two, my dear brother John |
| [03:51.60] | I'm sorry I didn't write sooner to tell you that father has gone |
| [04:00.60] | He was living with Brigid, she said he was cheerful and healthy right down to the end |
| [04:09.19] | And you should have seen him play with the grandchildren |
| [04:13.95] | Of Pat McNamara your friend |
| [04:17.96] | And we buried him alongside of mother |
| [04:22.34] | Down at Kilkelly churchyard |
| [04:26.68] | He was a strong and a feisy old man |
| [04:31.31] | Considering that life is so hard |
| [04:35.35] | And it's funny the way he kept talkin' about you |
| [04:40.25] | He called for you at the end |
| [04:44.75] | And why don't you think about comin' to visit |
| [04:49.79] | We'd all love to see you again |
