  1. Song - The Hills of Maghercloone

    I
    Gaels from historic breffy
    Where once OReilly ruled
    Gaels from Cuchullin's country
    Where the Red Branch Knights were schooled.
    Gaels from the pleasant valleys,
    Where Lough Sillan's waters toss,
    Gaels from the shades of Donaghmoyne
    And from the plains of Ross
    Gaels from Corduff and Latton
    Our voices blend in tune
    We bid you míle fáilte to
    The hills of Maghercloone.
