“From Kiskeam to Ballydormer...”
From Kiskeam to Ballydormer
Known to all is Nellie Conner
Midwife to the country round her
Skilful every mother found her.
On a dark December's night
As Nellie had put out the light
And in bed she snugly lay.
There came a rapping at the door
Rap, rap rap. tap, tap, tap,
Wait a minute my smart chap.
Nellie soon her clothes put on
Her petticoat and gown
She went out to see
What kicked up all the row.
A tall black man stood in the way
Mounted on a gallant grey
They went in by the light of the moon
and Nellie saw the fort of Doon.
