  1. The Cricket of Clontowera (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Their senses got so elevated
    That they picked both the country and town
    For it came to Clontowera to beat them
    And the Shamrock was never cut down
    CHORUS;
    Hurrah for the boys of Clontowera.
    Likewise of sweet Clonaheen.
    Not forgetting the backers of Skerry
    That gloried on plain and on green.
