1. Old Castles - A Song

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   By the Brinny gently flowing sweeps the Bandon's rapid tide
   Whose waters ere they mingle wash the castle's rugged side
   Whose ivied walls and ruined towers once beautiful and grand
   Are sad remnants of the greatness of our once proud native land
   Tis twice two hundred years ago since Barry Og did dwell
   In his castle at Downdaniel amid scenes he loved so well
   And his little daughter Eileen his darling and his pride
   No fairer maid than she was there in all that countryside

   And many the high born chieftain came whose castle and broad land
   He'd proudly lay at Eileen's feet if honoured with her hand
   But wonder was she better loved than any in the throng
   For heart and hand she long had pledged to Roche of Poul na Long
   Oft' when night was closing to a burning summers day
   From 'neath his castle's frowning fall his barque would speed away
   Nor stopped his oar nor stayed his 'till one feeble ray of light
   Shone from his darling's window to guide him through the night.

   McCarthy Riabhch Kil Gobbins Lord the lady too did claim
   But to him as to others Barry Og replied the same
   The man who wins my darling child must bear the palm away
