  1. My Home District - A Song

    Share Share Post
    My home district is situated in Lappanbane on Croghan mountain where the battle was fought between the Black-an-Tans and the I.R.A. in 1921.
    To communicate this battle a song was made by Michael Gaffney Lisgannon. The following are the words of the song.
    I
    Attend you sons of Granuale
    And listen for a while
    ' Till I relate the praises of
    The sons of Erin's Isle
    Concerning a great battle that
    Was fought as day did dawn
    By our noble Irish heroes in the rocks of Lappanbawn
