Song
“The concert held in Mullies,”
The Concert held in Mullies,
It is numbered with the past,
Although its happy items gone,
Its memory will last,
Let critics caper[?] as they may,
It will shine in history,
As a time of fun and frolicism,
And happy mirthful glee.
II
The programme was opened,
All by our local choir,
The songs of poor old Erin,
It was all you could desire
McGuiness as an actor,
Was next upon the stage,
His clownish face and figure,
Could be seen for any age;
He sand his usual comic,
All franished[?] with refrai,
Too numerous for to mention,
The rafters rang again.
