Local Songs (continued)
“When on this card you fix your eyes ¶ This ancient church you'll recognise;”
(continued from previous page)Though neighbours kind, of course you'll find, around where now you dwell
For friendliness you must confess, that Croghan folk excel;
Within Tyrone are quite unknown such folk of friendly ways
As these so true, around where you spent boyhoods happy days.The Croghan folk can take a joke, and tell a joke that cheers
The heart when sad, and thus they add to life few fleeting years
Mongst neighbours new, dear friend, may you, likewise your wife & boy
Excellent health, abundant wealth, and lives prolonged enjoy
