  1. My Townland - Gort (continued)

    Share Share Post
    (continued from previous page)
    In the parish of Bornacoola.
    There's many a big townland,
    One of these I value highly.
    And it is very grand.
    2
    I live in its vicinity
    And its name is Gort - na- lamp
    And very rarely visits it.
    A tinker or a tramp.
    3
    There are twelve houses in it,
    And in one of the I reside,
    There are no lakes or mountains.
    Save one river flowing beside.
    4
    There's one big protestant house in it,
    With a large farm of land as well
    And all the work thats done on it.
    No tongue can ever tell.
    5
    Every week two men come around.
    Selling everything we need,
    Tea sugar and loaves of bread,
    All safely guranteed.
