“This is a song about Tottenham's Demense which was composed about seventy years ago...”
(continued from previous page)It was then the court adjourned and the prisoners in command were bound for Manorhamilton handcuffed hand to hand.
Supposed to march along on foot in a downpour of rain,
But yet the fellow country men no longer could refrain.
Checked by the court of unity that bound them all in one.
The prisoners got conveyance to bring them to the jail.
But now they are landed safe at home and credit they may claim.
We never shall forget the brave Kilty men
A Song
“Up in Killilough a man he lived there. He had an aged cow that he brought to many a fair.”
