Song - Francis McGann
“Left every good neighbour and true honest friend”
Left every good neighbour and true honest friend
Give ear to those lines that I grievously pen
I wrote them in praise of a famous young man
His name to explain was brave Francis McGann

For being well-informed none could excel,
He could read and write Irish and English also
To my grief now, he's dead - in his grave lying low.(continues on next page)- Collector
