- (continued from previous page)The hills they re-echoed for Jackson and Jane,
In honour the cup came to Crieve again,
And now to conclude and finish my song,
Here's a health to Hugh Jackson and may he live long.
- Come all you lads and lasses,
Come listen to my song,
These few short simple verses
Will not detain you long.
Its all about a beauty spot
I love it evermore
This fairly land so fair and grand
The hills of Lurganmore.Will some come there
Their fun to share
And more their joke to pass
and more to roll their sweetheart
Upon the verdant grass
Where song birds sing and music ring
and whins are scattered o'er
This fairly land so fair and grand
The hills of Lurganmore.They be there from Carrickanair
