        Lyrics    
    Chorus
    Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing
    Oh, the ring of the piper's tune
    Oh, for one of those hours of gladness
    Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon!
    When the boys began to gather
    In the glen of a summer's night
    And the Kerry piper's tuning
    Made us long with wild delight!
    Oh, to think of it
    Oh, to dream of it
    Fills my heart with tears!
    
    Chorus
    
    Was there ever a sweeter Colleen
    In the dance than Eily More
    Or a prouder lad than Thady
    As he boldly took the floor.
    
    Lads and lasses to your places
    Up the middle and down again
    Ah, the merry hearted laughter
    Ringing through the happy glen!
    Oh, to think of it
    Oh, to dream of it
    Fills my heart with tears!
    
    Chorus
    
    Time goes on, and the happy years are dead
    And one by one the merry hearts are fled
    Silent now is the wild and lonely glen
    Where the bright glad laugh will echo ne'er again
    Only dreaming of days gone by in my heart I hear.
    
    Loving voices of old companions
    Stealing out of the past once more
    And the sound of the dear old music
    Soft and sweet as in days of yore.
    
    When the boys began to gather
    In the glen of a summer's night
    And the Kerry piper's tuning
    Made us long with wild delight!
    Oh, to think of it
    Oh, to dream of it
    Fills my heart with tears!
    
    Chorus
