  1. Snatches from Skelligs List

    Share Share Post
    Composed about 1890 in Cordal parish
    That Julia Flynn draws many men to visit Caste Hill
    That Leary bold sees matchlers gold within her graces still
    That from Cnoceen Jack Brosnan is seen each night to creak his bones
    Crossing the stream by moonlight gleam
    To visit Julia Jones
    That Patrick James just like a hames is double thin and long
    And for Joanneen na toin
    His love his own
    He sings the following song :-
    Sweet Joaneen na tón
    Is the maiden I mash
    I don't give a straw
    About fortune or cash
    This I that would cry
    olagón ón í
    Of my Joaneen éen
    Were stolen from me, mé, me.
