    “Pollcoum is a beauty spot”

    Share Share Post
    There was a song composed about Poll Coum but it is all forgotten except the four lines given below
    "Poll Coum is a beauty spot
    That everybody knows
    And down between three houses
    A stream it gently flows"
    It has its source in Talty's bog
    It is very useful to the Cooper
    For it's there he steeps his logs
    There was another song made about Johnny Learl's old cow
    In the village of Doolough there
    lived a noble butch
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
