Then here's to our gallant Skillange, boys
The pride of the parish is he.
For the fleetest young runner in Ireland,
Is our on darling Tim from the Lee.
III
His childhood & boyhood passed quietly,
And little we thought we would see.
The day the four corners of Ireland
Would ring with the name Herlihy.
IV
The hardest of all was at Mallow
Where he met that young 'Tip' man young Ryan
They all thought that Ryan was peerless
But they reckoned without Herlihy.Timothy Herlihy was a prominent figure during the 'troubled times'. He led his comrades in many exciting skirmishes & ambushes in Castleinch, Scornac & Walshestown.- Informant
