  1. Goodbye to Galbally

    CBÉS 0581

    Leathanach 051

    O, Fare thee well, sweet Galbally,
    I now must bid adieu
    And fare thee well sweet Glengly
    And to your green woods too
    Fare thee well you Galtees high
    I ne'er shall see you more
    And fare thee well, sweet Aherlow
    I'm bound for a foreign shore.
    II
    Many's the pleasant day I spent
    Down by the riverside
    With my fishing rod and tackle
    And my supposed young bride
    And many's the pleasant hour I've spent
    In the ivy grown Abbey
    That stands erect on the green hillside
    Near you, dear Galbally.
    III
    Now I must leave you all behind
    You glens and valleys deep
    And plough across the ocean wide
    O how it makes me weep
    But though I'll never see you more
    My heart is still with thee
    For I'll ne'er forget the days I've spent
    In you sweet Galbally.

  4. My Home District

    Leathanach 490

    My home district is named Boolanlisheen on account of all the lisses that are there. It means "the home of the fairies" in the parish of Galbally in the County Limerick. There is about eight families in Boolanlisheen, there is about forty-two people in it. The most of two hundred acres is contained in the Galtee mountains in our farm. The rest is low lying land. There is only one or two old people aged seventy and eighty years in the district. The name of the river is the Eassarolla meaning the noisy waterfall. The most familiar name in Boolanlisheen is the Mullins. The most of the houses are one and two storeys high, and they are slate and iron roofs on them. The most people of

    The "Old Street" as it is called was the vilage of Galbally.
    The village of Galbally - so called - is really Lowtown and most of the houses were built by Colonel Lowe of Ardpatrick at the famine period.
    The old hosues in the village ("Old Street") are now in ruins with the exception of about half-a-dozen.
    The walls of those houses were made of mud and straw, and thatched with Srábhóg (scraws) turf sods, which would get quite dry after a time.
    Some of the roofs were thatched with "Cliesg" (?) - a sort of reeds (?) found in the bogs.
    The floors were made of mud kept clean by beaslie (?) brooms.
    The rush light was used to give light.
    The houses usually consisted of two apartments - a kitchen and a bed room with the addition sometimes of a "loft."
    A settle bed was to be found

    There was a relation of mine called Pat Burke, about whom I told you before this, a caretaker in Massy Lodge. He came from Oldtown, Bruff, Co Limk. His wife was a relation of the present Archbishop of the diocese that is the most Rev. Dr. Harty. This Pat Burke as I said before this was a cat-breac and when he died in the year 1886 he was buried in the Protestant Church, Duntryleague, Galbally, Co. Limk. Anyhow when he was coming in one night from the stables in Massy Lodge to the Great House itself he saw a splendidly dressed man appear out of one of the rooms and come out on the grounds. As he was the caretaker he naturally felt surprised when he saw this splendidly dressed man

    One evening I was returning from the village of Galbally (Co. Limk) with a young ass that was nearly trained and I was giving him the finishing touch the same evening. Just there at Russell's Cross on this side of the village I was taken body and bones out of the car as if some big giant of a man put his hands around me. I was flung up against he side of the ditch(fence). The donkey made off and as soon as I pulled myself together I made off after him. A few hundred yards up the road I came up to him and he was standing up as if someone were holding him by the head. When I got into the car he sailed off gaily again. I had a cut on the side of my head. This was always said to be an "airy" place.

    One time I was down shooting in the County Clare and I met a professor from the University College Galway. He knew this part of the country very well. In course of our conversation he mentioned that he'd give anything to see a ghost. I told him that if we had met at home in Anglesboro I'd take him to Round Hill, Galbally where a woman is often seen bittling clothes at a stream. I was coming from Riversdale House [?] one night and I saw her myself bending over the stream and working as if her life depended on it. I got a cold shiver down my back and I drove on my horse as fast as I could.

    In my young days the boys used to play bowls on the Mountain Foot road between the Lisheen boreen and the top of the Line Road (i.e. along the road from Anglesboro' to Galbally, see Ordnance Map) . The bowls were made of metal and very often stones were used. They used to play on Sunday mornings from 6 o'clock to 9 and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. when they had to go home to milk the cows. Every year we used have Challange matches between Cullane, Ballylanders and the Mountain Foot. Both sides of the road used be black with people looking at the challange matches. The police use to come from Ballylanders to stop the matches but when they were gone the boys were off again in full tally-ho.

    The field of Patsy Hogan's below Hedger Quane's field on the right hand side of the New Line Road, Inchacombe, (Anglesboro', Co. Limk., Coshlea) on the way to Galbally from Anglesboro' was the scene of a great battle between Elizabeths troops and the Earl of Demonds troops. This field was first broken up about 70 years ago and the surface was as black as ink. It would remind you of the surface in a graveyard and the soldiers who were killed in this fight were buried in this field. One evening in harvest time Patsy was standing at High Street where the mountain foot boys gather in the evening for a chat and a game of cards (High Street is the spot where J. Walsh's shop stands in Barnagurraha, Anglesboro', Co. Lomk. Coshlea) and on looking down towards the field he had broken some time

He ran down across the fields to hunt the mout on the New Line road (i.e. Galbally road) but when he reached the field he found there were no cows in it at all and the wynds of hay were the same as they were the day they were put up.
    In a few days afterwards he got a great fit out of this and died out of it. The people said he should not have interfered with them at all and that only for that he'd live for years.

    Hidden Treasure
    There is tresure supposed to have been hidden in one corner of the Mor Abbey. It ws hidden by the monks before Cromwell's soldiers attacked the Abbey. Near the Abbey lived an old woman. This woman had hens. One of her hens would never stay around her house. One evening she saw the hen going into the Abbey. She followed it and in a corner of the Abbey she saw the hen in a tub. The hen flew out of the tub. She looked into the tub and found it full of gold. She went home for something to take the gold. When she came back for it she found the tub full of bones. Next day she went to the Abbey. There was no trace of the tub of bones. It is said that a terrible tall man dressed in black is supposed to guard the treasure.

    A Funny Story
    Once there lived an old man named Jim Griffin. He had three brothers and they were all getting the old age Pension. They used to go to Gallbally Post Office every Friday for it. One Friday TJim stopped drinking and was almost drunk. When he was going home, he had to go by the old Police Barrack and when he was just passing the gate of it, he saw the sergeant's wife there. She was a very idle woman and she used to do nothing but gossipping around the village. But anyway, when she saw Jim, she said to him "Good day, Jim, if the sergeant were here he would take you. "Fair man" said Jim, "he would take anything when he took the likes of you."

    The following old song has been sung in this district for more than one hundred years. At least the oldest men in the district have heard it in their childhood days.
    Certain sections of the farming community in this parish do not favour the song, and they accept it as an insult.

    To the County Tipperary I soon took my way,
    To dig the potatoes and work by the day
    On hire with a Galbally Farmer.

    I asked him how far we were bound for to go,

    people are called drovers who travel from one fair to another driving animals for the farmers.
    People go around in motor cars selling clothes, cigarettes such as Geary's with sweets and cigarettes. There are people who make their living by selling old clothes especially every Thursday and fair days and selling horses harness. Most of the gypsies are richer than each other, and some of them are fortune tellers.
    There was a poor man in Galbally whose name was Heffernan and he gave all his money to the parish priest for the seats in the church.
