  2. A Local Song

    “Three nights in the week”

    Share Share Post
    There is another composed about the boys of St. John;s by an uncle of my father.
    To mention those boys I think it no shame
    There is a young carpenter Hanly by name
    Billy Nortons lies Boys, Barney Hanly and Tom
    Tom Kelly's son Mike and John Donnelly's son Tom.
    Three nights in the week,
    Its to Carnagh they roam,
    Their hearts are in Carnagh
    The nights they're at home,
    An it's the Miss Hannons, the comely fair ones
    That's entirely bewitching
    The boys of St. John.
