    VI
    Its the oldest road in Ireland
    The Archeoligsts say,
    Is the road down from Greencastle
    And its just the same to day;
    So may they ever preserve its ancient beauty
    And keep it free from stone and tar
    Till I come back and take a trip
    On Jack McCutcheons Car.
    Jack McCutcheon drives a sixteen seated bus. It meets the Derry bus at Moville and runs on to Shrove. Jack lifts anybody he sees on the road.
    In summertime he has little canvas seats up the centre of the bus for the people to sit on.
