A Song (continued)
“I'll sing the praise of Ballymore I'll sing to you to-night”
(continued from previous page)And not forgetting Killinboy
It's a pity that I should
The nicest girl around that place is now in Dysart Wood,
Her father is a wealthy man.
Of him I could say more,
He is the largest cattle-dealer,
that goes into Ballymore,
And from the rock of sweet Daniel,
You'd see the pretty lake,
And if I was a photographer,
Its photo I would take,
I'd present it to Mrs. Gibney,
And I could do no more
Gold letters I would print on it,
The Lakes round BallymoreThis song was composed by Carroll of Dysart who married a girl from Ballymore.- Collector
