A Song - Owen Doran's Cottage
“Jim Doyle now inside was singing, The Red Lad from The Harrow, I mean,”
One song that I know with the (name) Harrow in it is :-"Owen Doran's Cottage"
My Father made this song and his name was,
Mr Laurence Breen, Carrigeen, Ferns.
The verse with the name The Harrow in it is :-
"Jim Doyle now inside was singing,
The Red Lad from The Harrow, I mean,
He was sitting up in the corner
And his arms all around a fair dance
He was singing the Praises of Whiskey
And you know he's the boy that can roar
He had his mouth open so widely
I thought he would shut it no more"Nora Breen,
Carrigeen, Ferns, Co Wexford.
