  1. Song about the Drowning Tragedy in Lough Allen (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Between widows and orphans
    And families half a score
    The wild fowl of this water
    Will go no more to shore.
    The blackbird and the golden thrush
    Will quit Mount Allen's grove.
    The (tree) trees in June no more will bloom
    But wither and decline
    Since our joy and comfort
    Took their lodging in Kilbride.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
