  1. Local Songs - The Curse of Beeing

    (by J. Honohan)
    1
    From Donoughmore to Mallow town,
    Historic spots of famed renown.
    A wretched village lies between,
    I think by name they style it Beeing.
    2
    I called in there last New Years night,
    To treat some friends as I thought right.
    And while five minutes just were fleeing,
    They stole my carriage whip at Beeing.
    3
    That dreary God forsaken place,
    Where honour seldom shows its face.
    May Carrigcleena's fairy Queen,
    Forever haunt the homes of Beeing.
    4
    May peace and plenty visit not,
    Each rude dilapidated cot.
    That cradled beings so vilely mean,
    To take by stealth my whip at Beeing
