A Local Song (continued)
“This song was made by a man from Williamstown,”
(continued from previous page)The funeral at 10 p.m. passed throug Ogunalo,
If you were at the funeral you would see one
lonely sight,
For to see one hundred clergymen and the all robed
out in white.VII
For now they are in heaven I hope that lovely place
of rest,
With all our Irish myrtars for ever among the blest,
The day will come and we will know who sold their lives away,
Young Rodgers and McMahon brave Egan and Gilday.
