- The following song is sung in this locality. Its name is "Ballytrapeen". Ballytrapeen is another name for the present village of Whitegate.
Verse. I
When the "Blarney" drew near to the wild Irish coast
All the boys on the foxcle[?] they all gave a boast
They toasted their home the dear Isle so Green
And the wind seemed to whisper "welcome home to trapeen
Chorus -: With me [?] and Shillelagh a gradh
Oh my blessings go with you Sweet Erin go breagh.
II
Soon the Roches Point lighthouse in the distance was seen
Then we knew we were near the village of Guileen
We entered the harbour and rounded the Spit
And Landed in Queenstown both able and fit.
And there in the distance the Green boat was seen
And we all booked our tickets for Ballytrapeen.
Chorus.
III
Now Ballytrapeen lies three miles from sweet Cobh
And its built on the borders of Cuskinny Grove
Where the girls are so pretty and fair to be seen
For you cant knock a shine out of Ballytrapeen.
Chorus.
IV
Farside comes next with its girls so fair(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
