    This song was composed by a man named James McGuarty who lived in the townland of Gub, in the parish of Glangevlin, Co Cavan.
    There is a lake in the townland of Doonmakeever James McGuarty saw a donkey on each side of the lake. One belonged to Cormac McGovern of "Lake View House" Doonmakeever and the other belonged to Larry McGovern of Tullnacross. Cormac McGovern supplied the R.J.C with turf - "(in service with her Majesty")
