Local Songs (continued)
“In Farney bold, you are of time”
(continued from previous page)By the waters of the mill.
IIII
Now to conclude and finish.
I think it would be right.
To propose a toast of friendship.
This holy festive night.
A tumbler glass to each lad and lass.
By the waters of the mill.
- Brave gallant sons of Farney, from Louth to Ballytrain
Come one and all, at freedoms call, to battle once again.
Against opressions grinding power, united still to stand.
And let our fearless watchword be, “The people and the Land.”
II
‘Tis not for stormy politics, that Farneys ap to-day.
Nor to cheer for some place-hunting-knave, in
quest of season pay.
