  1. The Lake of Carrowmore

    Share Share Post
    Come all ye standing heroes
    around old Bangor town
    I am now pleased
    some verses to pen down
    as I have got an opportunity
    as I've never got before
    I'll sing to you the praises
    of the Lake if Carrowmore

    (II)
    It's beauties are unequalled
    It's beauties are well known
    It's thoughts are always in my mind
    In every place I roam
    All from Blacksod to Aughoose
    Along the Owenmore
    But no place entices me
    Like the Lake of Carrowmore

    (III)
    On the road to sweet Belmullet
