  1. A Local Verse

    At the fair of Culdaff I sold a calf. I thought to myself I would have a spree, and then I thought I would have a drink. And my girl I would go and see.
    I heard a groan outside the door,
    When The Mountaqin Dew was sung,
    By a lady fair with shingled hair,
    From the heathery hills of Drung.
