    “The only song composed around here that I know of, is one about John Hewit R.I.P.”

    Share Share Post
    The only song composed around here that I know of , is one about John Hewit R.I.P. The following are some of the words.
    Insweet Clonfad there lived a lad
    John Hewit it was his name
    Across the bog he often trod
    To meet his Peggy Kane.
    And when she'd see him coming
    Her heart with leap with joy
    Saying you're welcome here my Johnny daer
    My darling blue-eyed boy.
    Composed by John Mullark R.I.P.
