Did you ever eat 'colcannon' when 'twas made with yellow cream,
And the Kale and praties blended like the picture in a dream?
Did you ever take a forkful and dip it in the lake
Of heather-flavored butter that you mother used to make?
Oh you did; yes, you did. So did he and so did I.
And the more I think about it, sure, the more I want to cry.
Oh God be with the happy times when troubles we had not,
And our mother made 'colcannon' in the three-legged pot.
