Airly Beacon

 Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon; 
Oh, the pleasant sight to see 
Shires and towns from Airly Beacon, 
While my love climbed up to me! 

Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon; 
Oh, the happy hours we lay 
Deep in fern on Airly Beacon, 
Courting through the summer's day! 

Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon; 
Oh, the weary haunt for me, 
All alone on Airly Beacon, 
With his baby on my knee!
