  1. The Hackler From Grousehall

    Share Share Post
    I am a roving Hackler lad,
    That loves the shamrock shore
    My name is pat Mac Donnell
    And my age is eighty four
    I'm well known and respected
    By my friends and neighbours all
    And through stradone
    I am well known
    Round Larah and Grousehall
    II
    I roamed about from town to town
    For hackling was my trade
    No one can deny I realy think
    I'm an honest living blade
    For wherever I stay by night or day
    The youths are sure to call
    To have the crack with Paddy Jack
    The Hackler from Grousehall
