  1. The Maid of Sweet Gorteen (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Her grace and gentle mien
    God grant to me just one more view
    Of the Maid of Sweet Gorteen
    Now to conclude my story sad
    I take my pen in hand
    John O'Brien it is my name
    And by the Bricks my land
    My days were spent in merriment
    Since my darling I'd first seen
    But her abode is on a road
    At a place called Sweet Gorteen.
