- The name of this song is the Derrinlaur Boy.
The Derrinlaur boys went out one day. Along the road a stalling O,
They met a Tin Lizzie on the road forsaken and forlorn O,
One proposed as the day was fine they'ed have arrive by Pillage O,
They took the Tin Liz by the Wing[?] and drove her towards the Village O.
With Micky Fogarty at the wheel a mechanic bold and daring O.
The Lizzie sped as ne'er before down towards the Village of Kilsheelan O.
With Johnny Cooney from Lisheen better known as "Murphy" O,
and Dinny Shanahan from Kilganery a drapers clark a while ago,
and Jimmy Walsh from Lisheen was catered by Guard Malloy O,
But one was missing from the crowd and that was famous "Scurty" O.Air of Bansha Peelers
