  2. A Local Song

    “Ar maidin Dé Domhnaigh nuair a theigim-se go dtí an t-Aifreann”

    Share Share Post
    Ar maidin Dé Domhnaigh
    Nuair a theigim-se go dtí an t-Aifreann
    Cuirim orm Léine agus béada breág bearruige
    Tugaim féacaint mór ocímceall
    Tar a fuair fí fé ndeara mé
    Agus ní ar Muire bí mé ag caoineaim
    Acr ar Brigde sí is measa liom
    = Jerry Murphy got from Mrs Bridget Nolan Rathduan Rathmore Kerry.
    One day for amusement to sweet Ballyvourny
    The Sabbath in June last I chanched for to stray
    I viewed all the crops and full grown woods planted
    Each hill and valley in a triangular way
    When examined completely
    I began at sneezing
    And I knew not the reason for solitude nay
    For over-right me was standing a comely young damsel
    Be sure in her hand was costly sun shade
    Beside a hat and a feather
    She wore them together
    Wit ha watch and a muff
    And a sash around her waist
