- (continued from previous page)About 40 years ago the fathers of the present black-smiths were put to jail for not shoeing the horses of Mrs Burdette Moroney the landlady of that time who was boycotted and J.D. Sullivan the great poet wrote a song about them by the name of Three Brave Blacksmiths.I Verse
Three brave blacksmiths down in County Clare,
Wouldn't shoe a grabber's horse wouldn't shoe his mare.
They wouldn't take his money for his threats they didn't care
They'd rather go unshod themselves than shame the County Clare.- Collector
