- (continued from previous page)In this locality there lived a great poet named the “Fifer” Traynor. In about a hour he could compose a poem. He lived about fifty years in this district and then moved to Kingscourt. He made several songs such as “The Green Walk” “The Revivers” and “The Old Ass”. A verse of “The Green Walk” reads as follows :- Thirty five thousand met us at Lear
From Mullagh, Moybologue and sweet Killinkere
We met Bailieboro’ at famed Molly Buidhe
And our band played “Old Erin” that day for the spree. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
