    This song was written by a native of Anaugh, Clonmany who emigrated to America. It is still known by many people here.

    distance far away
    And the trim Roseanne of Poland lies at anchar in the bay
    The Castle of O Doherty, Glashadhies lovely Isle.
    These scenes of happy memories will be with me all the while

    I am going far away from Anaugh and perhaps I will never see,
    Where the lovely Rose of Sharon dwelt of happy memorie
    But while there is life there is always and this I will pledge to you
    That I will never forget old Anaugh and the friends so kind and true
