    I watch how the fire burns red and low
    And mother says that I fall asleep.

  2. Cullinastreen

    Share Share Post
    Near the old town of Carrick where the Shannon flows by
    There's a little townland that will brighten your eye.
    With its little thatched homes and its meadows so green.
    Just a bit of Roscommon called Cullinastreem
    Chorus
    Cullinastreen dear Cullinastreen Where I found peace and quiet and enjoyed my "dúidín"
