A Song (continued)
“As I roved out one morning”
(continued from previous page)The present one he’s a noble man
I tell you one and all
He pledged his word and honour for the County Donegal
Brave Prince McGowan when he’s at home
You’ll meet him on the way
With his belt and spade he’s on parade
Potatoes he will not spray
Of his lady fair he takes great care
And her he does adore
The male sex dare not call or trespass at his door.
This song was made 95 years ago by Mr. Patrick Brogan who lived in Drimcoe.
