Beyond old Duhallow there was so much to see
So he left his first home-place in Knocknagree
When the robin was singing on the leafy birch tree
In May in the Spring of nineteen sixty three
Just prior to his twenty third birthday full of youthful elan
As a dark haired and handsome and physically strong young man
He has been in Australia for five decades of years
And for the past he does not have any tears
Since nineteen sixty five married to Jo his Australian born wife
In Warrnambool in Victoria they are enjoying the coastal City life
Their son and daughter in mid life a decade past their prime
Last month they became grandparents for the fifth time
It has been fifty years since he heard the robin sing
In Knocknagree Village in May in the Spring
Gray haired in his early seventies time has become his foe
The likeable fellow known as Knocknagree Joe
