  1. Lovely Katie of Lackabawn (continued)

    Share Share Post
    (continued from previous page)
    Yet while acquainted she's kind and faithful
    With short experience I this can see
    In the winter season when the weather was dreary
    And I going early up to Drishawn
    All my consolation was seeing young Katie
    That lovely fair maid of Lackabawn
    Farewell dear Katie must now forsake you
    The breeze from bleirach is piercing me
    It checks me fairly and bids me stay
    With the lovely maiden of Mushery
    But in the summer season
    When the weather is changing
    Once more I will stray back to fair Drishawn
    All in speculation of seeing young Katie
    That blooming fair maid of Lackabawn
