“When you come to Inniscarra and through sweet Cloghroe.”
(continued from previous page)6
When you come to Inniscarra and through sweet Cloghroe.
Then on to Magoola where the wild plovers soar.
To the dear little hamlet so plain to be seen.
You can hear the train whistling going down for Gurteen.

When you come up to Berrings your attention is drawn.
To beautiful surroundings I'm now going to call.
A picturesque chapel so saintly and tall.
A School and a pub and a gorgeous town-hall.
8
Now travel with me and once more you will find.
The dearest of all that I'm leaving behind.
In sweet desolation in sunshine and rain.
I would long to be back in Kilmurry again.
This song was composed by Mr. Patrick Mc Donnell, Berrings.Song
“When you come to Inniscarra and through sweet Cloghroe”
1
On the hills of Kilmurry where oft in my childhood,
I spent my young days with a heart free from care.
And plucked the wild fruits from the vines in the wild wood,
And smelt the wild roses perfuming the air.(continues on next page)- Collector
