- Denny Lyon's from Tipperary.
He had an ass to sell.
Although he seen some fifty years.
he still looked fresh and well. His ears were standing tall and straight.
His eyes like glass did shine.
And sawed off hoof to ball him off.
The tin ware men thought it a sin to yoke him any more.
And they sold him to Lack Kelly in the fair of Tullamore.
This song is made about twenty five or tirty years ago. The song was made by Joe Kennedy Rahan.- Collector
