She left her homeplace the Pride of Canovee
Just a few years short of her physical prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time
Dark wavy hair to her shoulders she was graceful and tall
In Canovee back then the fairest of all
But in mid Cork she was one not destined to stay
Her future would be in the U S of A
In the prime of her life in her physical bloom
A lovesick young man pined for her in Macroom
But time is the healer of grief true to say
And life does go on it is always this way
Time as is said becomes everyone's foe
And nineteen eighty three now seems long ago
In anti ageing creams and hair dye does she hide time's decay
As many women do in the World of today
She left Canovee near her physical prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time
A young man in Macroom for her was in tears
But even love sickness does not last for years.
