Song
“The children were hid in the ridges.”
The children were hid in the ridges
The Nolans with pitchforks and flails,
Came out like a swarm of midges,
To skiver and thrush the O'Neills.This is part of a song heard by Mrs. Maxwell (60) of Rockmount, Canningstown P.O. She was a Carr from Drumooslin near Bailieboro. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
