  1. The Pride of Lougher (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    The servant say he did nigh
    For anger he was bent
    I own I have no farm now
    Its true I pay no rent
    I have a shilling when its earned
    To get handy at my call
    To spend with the Pride of Lougher
    Three miles from Annascaul.
    A row then rose between them
    Some stones began to fly
    As I lay hid behind the fence
    One struck me in the eye
    I screamed out mile murder
    In to the road did crowl
    I paid for the Lougher courtship
    Three miles from Annascaul.
    Success may attend this fair maid
    She did those men betray
    May her red rosy cheeks n'er wither
    Or her beauty fade sway
    Prosperity may attend her
    Till the Lord will on her call
    She's the charming pride of Lougher
    Three miles from Annascaul.
