- I know of a poet who lives in Middletown. His name is Eugene Brady. He made a song about the Derrie Pass. This is the song.
On the twenty third of November
Just before the break of day.
The heather boys from Carnagh.
To the Derries trodged their way
With satchels on their shoulders
And shovels in their hands.
They were met by Gaffer Brady.
Who took them in command.He said my boys your names I take
And quickly pen them down.
And if ye dont obey my orders
I'll send ye back to Carnagh town.Ownie the Corriga he came there.
He never wore a smile
And he's the boy that heaped the load,
On sloped heels Paddy Coyle.(continues on next page)
