- 19The Wee Townlands of Wexford
Author - UnknownThe wee townlands of Wexford from Coolgreany to Kilmore
Nurture happy humble Irish homes, you count them by the score
If you travel through the county well your journey won't feel long
For you lilt the names and soon you have the makings of a song
Aughnagleer, Abbeydown, Ardamine and Aske
Ballywitch, Borelia, Bing and Ballinhask
Ballinamona, Ballycappogue, Beak and Bachelor's Hall
Ballyhubbock, Ballycale, Ballyhow, Blackhall.
You'll meet the sturdy farmers, their children and their wives
The backbone of the townlands, leading useful peaceful lives
And once a week they yoke the car and travel into town
Let's go with them and sing our song right up the hills and down
Campile, Coolgarrow, Corlican and Craan
Curraghnabola, Curragraige, Clone and Carrigunane
Clorogue and Cooladine, Corbetstown and Creagh
Coolnagloose, Clongaddy, Court and Corriganeagh
At dance and feis and patron sure a "term" you will enjoy
Fond of sport and full of laughter every Wexford girl and boy
Free State bans and regulations don't affect them much at all
Though they cannot keep up as long as in Phil the Fluter's Ball
