1. A Local Song - The Watchy's Old Ford Car

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   It was up by McDonnell's corner, one morning as I did stray,
   I saw another rebel, and these words to me he did say,
   "I got orders from the captain to assemble at Dunancorry,
   But we can't get over to Killenkere, without a motor-car."

   "Oh! Jody dear be of good cheer,
   I'll tell you what we'll do,
   The Orangemen have plenty although we have but few,
   We'll send a wire to Kellets before we travel far,
   And we'll go to Killenkere, in the Watchy's old ford car".

   When Watchy got the wire, he soon pulled on his shoes,
   Saying "this case is urgent, we have no time to lose,"
   He then pulled on his old felt hat, and in his breast a star,
   You could hear the tares [?] going through Killenkere
   of the Watchy's old ford car.
