   and here is where you would see,
   the great old Irish dancers of the west,
   the women folk with their grand red petticoats
   and their small plad shawls on their shoulders
   neat low shoes and black stockings,
   dancing so gay to that famous old tune
   "The rocky road to Dublin".

   The cocks and the hens
   who were reared in this little village
   would come down from their roost
   and go out into the little yards,
   on a Sunday night,
   to listen to the strains
   of those great old Irish melodies
   played by old John Monohan on his violin

   IV
   This beautiful village has vanished,
   grand stories no more do we hear,
   but the rumble and bumble of motors
   electricity now in the air
   that violin which once gave the music
   to people, light hearted and gay,
   has passed to some friends o'er the waters,
   From this beautiful hill at Loughrea.
