  1. Saint Patrick's Day

    Share Share Post
    1st Stanza
    St Patrick's Day has come and gone
    With nought left to remind us
    Of the cross-road dance and carrying on
    In the land we've left behind us.
    2nd.
    Through every town in County Down
    And all the way to Kerry
    The bands would play "St.Patrick's Day",
    To make the girls merry.
    3rd
    The music there would thrill the heart
    Of either saint or sinner
    And when the piper got a start
    They all forgot their dinner.
    4th
    To Keneficks cross just after Mass
    The boys and girls would wander
    And from Cullane each Colleen Bawn
    Would march toward Ballylander.
