Songs (continued)
“Twas on a Summers Sunday in the looming month of June, as I rambled along that valley close by the hills of Coule”
(continued from previous page)IV
Old Erin dear still bleeding, you will soon have better times.
Those cruel evicting landlords have charged us with their Crimes,
They dragged our priest to prison to make his spirit fail.
But Wm. O Brien shouts out to Balfour that he would rather die in jail. V
Cheer up dear native Erin that day will soon shine bright,
When Balfour & his crew will have to take their flight,
From Belfast to Cork will soon be plainly seen,
When the green old flag of brave Castlelyons will float in College Green.Songs
“If you want a drive around Castlemartyr sure you'll meet me on the stand”
