    “Skerries, Skerries, is the finest place I know”

    Skerries, Skerries, is the finest place I know
    Skerries Skerries o.d.o d. do do
    It's a nice wee place to come to and the seashore is divine
    If ever you come to Skerries
    Call up and see me some time.
    A man wrote this verse who came as a visitor last summer in the year 1937 to Skerries. He was so charmed with the beauty of the town and the strand he wrote this song.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
