Local Song
“Twas on a Sunday evening.”
'Twas on a Sunday evening,
Not very long ago,
There was a dance reported
For the village of Cultibo.

For the night being like the day,
Till we came to Andrew Flaherty's
And we headed for Derryea.

We inquired for Black-Bird money,
And tis this we quickly found
Our boys they sought us out
As keen as any hound.

We all got bread and butter.
And we needed it as you know
For tis a long and tiresome journey
To the village of Cultibo.
