A Song
“I'll sing the praise of Ballymore I'll sing to you to-night”
I'll sing the praise of Ballymore
I'll sing to you tonight
First to begin at Blounagh
Where Tommy Timbs doth dwell
Mullaghcloe and sweet Daniel
A place that I love well
And from the hill of Raskeigh
You could see o'er
I'd live upon a meal a day
Round charming BallymoreThe view from Templepatrick
Is charming to be seen
The missel thrush and blackbird
Are singing on each bough
You can hear its notes resounding below at Ulyses MillBallymacallan next in view
And poor old Puttingham,
the places I oft crossed o'er
And that at early dawn,
An when going over Shinglass,
My legs being stiff and sore
After dancing all the pretty girls
Around charming Ballymore(continues on next page)- Collector
