  1. A Local Song - The Loughinlea

    Share Share Post
    Farwell unto old Ireland,
    Like wise to the black thorn,
    Farewell unto the Lough-inlea
    Its round there I was born,
    Many a pleasant hour I spent,
    In joy and sweet array.
    Going plucking the wild bill-berries.
    That deck the Lough-inlea
    In the Summer
