“Near the old town of Carrick where the Shannon flows by...”
I
Near the old town of Carrick
where the Shannon flows by
There is a little townland that
would brighten you eye
With its little thatched hovels
and meadows so clean
a bit of roscommon, Sweet
Culeen na Treen
Chorus
Culeen na Treen
Where the hay is all saved
And the meadows so clean
And the sun it shines down
on sweet Culeen na Treen.
II
In the evening I took a stroll
down to the tavern
Where I met Miss Gildea and
he friend Frank McGovern
They would twist and twine
you and joke in between
And send you home singing
to culeen na Treen
Chorus
III
We had duckeggs for breakfast(continues on next page)
