- This song was composed by Martin Ryan. Templetuohy. An old horse from Loughmore strayed into this parish and was kept to work by some local farmers . This song was made while the horse was in this neighbourhood. Come on you loyal and brave comrades
And listen to my song,
It's of a mournful circumstance,
I won't detain you long ;
It's concerning a dine old horse ,
About twenty three or four ,
That retired from work and labour
In the parish of Loughmore. This nag been twenty three years old
And feeble was his frame;
He was let out to pick about
Some strength for to regain.
But quickly he deserted
And came to this district round
To help the one horse farmers
To plough and till their ground(continues on next page)
