It's called "The Emigrant's Letter".

big Anchor liner
big Allen liner

waves hit the last
waves hid the last

Creeslough today
Creeslough the day

so I'll stay where I am for the diet is great,
and there's lots of combustibles piled on my plate.
So here I must stay, Oh I've no cause to fret
The dinner was what you might call a banquet

Although it is scrumptious sure I'd swap the whole lot,
for the old wooden spoon in the stirabout pot,
and sweet Katie Farrell a-wettin' the tay,
where they're cuttin' the corn in Creeslough the day.
