- (continued from previous page)The dance was at a house called McGinns. John McIvor of Drumbrain is also good at making songs. Edward Fitzpatrick of Carn was good at making songs. He made one about "The Boys from Carn Hill." Annie Woffer (sp?), Carn, was also a good poet. Fitzpatrick's song was:Young men I say and maidens gay
Unite both on and all
A Noble band of youths as grand

Where is the muse that could refuse
