They Called This Place Killarney

They called this place Killarney still no resemblence though To Killarney county Kerry a place I used to know And Killarney county Kerry thousands of miles away From Killarney in Victoria where I passed through today. They called this place Killarney still no mountains to be seen A flat unsheltered countryside of paddocks wide and green In Killarney in county Kerry the hills reach towards the sky But I see enough beauty here to satisfy me eye. Killarney in Victoria twelve miles from Warrnambool On an evening in october an evening bright though cool And spring in south west Victoria the loveliest time of year The air borne skylark piping, the magpie's notes ring clear. Killarney in Victoria by the pacific sea Quite different from Killarney on main road to Tralee A different sort of countryside, a different sort of place Still most people of Killarney have ties to Irish race. Who named this place Killarney? I'd really like to know Maybe some homesick Kerryman a long, long time ago He named this place Killarney and people liked the name And the name of Killarney in Victoria forever will remain
