Avondale
Traditional
Oh have you been to Avondale,
And linger in its lovely vale,
Where tall trees whisper and know the tale,
Of Avondale's proud eagle.
Where pride and ancent glory fade,
So was the land where he was laid,
Like Christ was thirty pieces paid,
For Avondale's proud eagle,
Long years that green and lovely vale,
has nursed Parnell,
her proudest Gale,
And cursed the land that has betrayed,
Fair Avondale's proud eagle.
