    N.B. I have since got a song composed by Jerry O'Sullivan

    Carraigh na Caolcoilleach (The Rock of Kealkil - (Village)

    Mo shlán le Carraigh na Caolcoilleac,
    Mar a chaitheas trí théarma m'aois,
    Gan gádh gan easba sa tsaol so
    Ac án * maghadh agus scleip leó bhínn
    Mar bhíodh fáil ar a bfillean * Dé cúghainn
    Agus teagasc do breitheamh Críóst
    Níl fán ar ár Sagart le naomhact
    Siúd ainm fíor Réím sa (?) tír

    Do geobhfaí ann capaill is caoirig
    Ba beaga, laoigh is uain
    Smólaigh, fiolair is faoileáin
    Is an druid is cearc fraoig is cuach
    Do gheóbhfaí an muilleann ar linn ann
    Leabaid an Righ cun súain
    Éala * na croide sa geimhreadh (Birds)
    go dtagaid ó'n coill le fuacht

    Do gheóbhfaí cuilleann ag fás ann,
    Plumaí breágh alluinn úr
    Do gheobhfaí admad luinge nó baíd ann
