Songs - Granuaile (continued)
“Her lovely hair hung down her neck,”
(continued from previous page)By her side she let it fall,
She played the tune called Brian Boru
Garryowen and Tara HallGod save Ireland was the next
And the martyrs who died in jail
So you need not fret
Home rule we'll get
Cried poor old GranuaileWhen I awake up from up my slumber
Excited by my fright
I thought it was the clear daylight
But I found that it was nightI looked all round and could not see
But the walls of a lonely jail
And that was the last sight I saw
Of poor old GranuaileLocal Song
“By her side she let it fall,”
