Gives "The Hills oer Kilmoganny" as given by Peggy Neill under the Heading Local PoetsA Song
“It was in the year of the War ¶ In nineteen fourteen”
It was in the year of the War
In nineteen fourteen
As fine a roan heifer
As ever you'd seen
Was born in a stable
On a fine bed of straw
And we called her "Young Welly"
Said Tommy Mc Grath.Composed by Mr Matty Dunne in 1937, during the 'free beef" vouchers.A Song
“Here in Kilkenny, we're run off our feet”
