    My curse to Ballyara, to all its dirty lanes
    I went knee deep in the puddle which gave me griping pains.
    I travelled from old Kinvara, many a weary mile
    But a meaner place than Ballyara is not in Erin's Isle
    VI
    I have nothing to say to Carramore, for they freely did their part
    And money and entertainment, they gave with their good heart.
    I mean to do them justice some day that I have time
    For their generous hospitality I'll make a good old rhyme.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
