This is Ballinaglera with her valleys and her hills,
That smiles and swells around us twist her rivers
and her hills.
Her Celtic notes undoubtedly to all the world have shown.
It means the town of clergy we are proud to call our own.
Proud to call our own boys proud to call our own.
It means the town of clergy we are proud to call our own.
II.
Forget not Tubbervoy may its memory never fade,
Where hundreds to the priesthood were ordained
beneath its shade,
and fifteen holy bishops from its cloisters long have flown.
Sainted gems of Ballinaglera we're proud to call our own.
Proud to call our own boys proud to call our own.(continues on next page) - Informant
