  1. Local Song

    “Mr Flanagan, Branagan, Weldon and”

    Here is an old song about the school. -
    Mr Flanagan, Branagan, Weldon and bo,
    Said they would not build the school at the end of the row.
    The bird said to Bartle, I don give a jot,
    for we will build the school on the boycotted plot.
