    Inish Turk came to this district and got a farm of land and lived in this district. Some of the people that lived in Inish Steágal came to district and got a farm of land and lived in this district.
    (Poem)
    On a sunny summer morning all in the month of May;
    To Westport railway station I carlessly did stray?
    I heard a widow wailing, as down her tears did fall; her daughter she was going away, far far from sweet Mayo.
    "Ah gramachree you're parting me" she mournfully did cry?
    You're going away across the sea and leaving me alone
    To face the breeze of the stormy seas your bound for Merico, (?)
    You could not withstand the tyrants' hand
