    (continued from previous page)
    From Glinsk to Leatbeg and Rossgull,
    And all the country o'er.
    But not a one could take my eye
    Like Brogan of Melmore.
    11
    Melmore it is a lonesome spot,
    Right well I ken the way.
    And often in a curragh,
    I crossed o'er Mulroy Bay
    To view those fair maids of Rossgull,
    Whose beauty I adore.
    But not a one could take a squeeze,
    Like Brogan of Melmore.
