My Home District - The District of Ballyteige (continued)

Share Share Post

(continued from previous page)

forty years ago. There is a mixture of boggy and good land. It is a very level townsland. It is separated from Ballycommon by a small stream and it is separated from Wood of O by another small stream. The streams have no names. A canal runs through my home district. This canal is a branch of the Grand Canal.

We are the boys for fun,
With an element of dancing and singing,
And for other joys,
Ructions, destructions, diversions, and devilment,
Who can come up to the Ballyteague boys.
