  1. Local Song - Knocknanuss (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    When “Even” spreads her ebon screen
    One yet may hear the ghostly keen,
    Of women wailing for their dead.
    Composed by Father Mackessy who was born at Knocknanuss now living in Buttevant.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.

  2. Song of Castlemagner

    Share Share Post
    Castlemagner is a long time lonely
    And now to raise it to the highest mirth,
    There is not a spot the wide world over
    To be compared with the Castle Earth.
    II
    There is the old church with its angle steeple
    Where many people lie cold and still
    A bright clear river that writes and quivers and flows so neatly,
    Down by the old mill.
    III
    Swanzy's glen on a bright spring morning
    To see the foxes how they do roam
    Tis there you'll see, thrush and Blackbird in a roving line
    From grove to grove.
