Local Songs (continued)
“We are a parish of Caheragh boys, From Tooreen and famed Lissane”
(continued from previous page)I have bid farewell to my sisters
And my brother too likewise
My parents here advanced in years I now must leave behind
Their hearts will break when I am gone they will be condoling me
Their son gone off in hsi youth and bloom at the age of twenty tree.
4.
Captain Moonlight in his tower of me feels not afraid of me
For never lived in our ploughland famed a man of the low grade
Sure in sixty-seven we were Fenian men and we used to drill till dawn each night
When the moon shines bright on the green fields of Lissane,
This song was composed by Richard Barrett
Lissane Lower, Drimoleague
