   Is deas an baile Fórnocht
   Is breágh é a fhéar is a scéim
   Bíonn an t-Aifreann lá Ríogh an Domhnaigh ann
   Is an sagart go h-umhal á léighean
   Bíonn an siúinéir is an gabha ann
   An gréasuithe ghus an saor
   An smólach bhinn ‘san gleann ann
   Agus innseacha chun féir.

   Seóirse Brogur Creagh mentioned in this song was Land agent to the Landlord of Firmount – ‘Townsend’. The following facts can be gleaned from the Title Deeds of Townsend’s former farm and residence. Horatio Townsend transferred [lefarse] 50 acres of his personal estate together with his residence by Deed of Indenture for 31 years dated 1855 to George Washington Brogur Creagh. For some reason George Washington Brogur Creagh Junior transferred the property to George Washington Brogur Creagh Senior, a rather peculiar procedure reversing the natural order of events. This record in 1857.
