Oh the Lough Carra islands, they bare a great name.
For scotch fur and larch and all sorts of game
For scotch fur and larch, and gilgeach also
And the finest of ash plants on those islands do grow
To the North side of this lake, an island there stands
In which George Moore in his urn, lies buried in the sand.'Tis there every Sunday our new boat go
And packed with young fellows, from Clonee to Cranmore.
To the South side of this lake, a slate house there stands
Decorated with ivy it looks very grand
Decorated with ivy and a bright light at night
It's a guide for all boats men on a dark Winters night.(continues on next page)- Informant
