- I
On the fourteenth of November in the year of 1884.
I saw the grandest fox hunt I ever saw before.
They came to Rathnally covert
Where Reynard bold was found,
He darted through Dunganny
And o'er Cloncullen then,
And headed straight for Dunlough Hill,
In hopes to gain his denII
And getting no admittance there,
He cunningly crept down.
To that famous fox covert
Of lovely Philpotstown.
First came Tommy Barnwell,
Who rode a splendid grey.
Next his brother Richard
With Saw Reynolds of renown.
Butler George, the whipper-in
And Maher of Clavinstown.Composed by Tomas Connor who lived in Cloncullen all his life
