   Songs.
   An old song composed by Hannah Harkin, Dunree, Buncrana in Sept 1865. She is now in New Zealand.
   To Dunree sweet I bid adieu,
   Your lakes and braes no more I'll view.
   Your hills and dales and fields so green,
   I'll never, never may view again.
   2
   And just beside your flashing sea,
   There is a cot so dear to me,
   That is the cot that gave me birth,
   Where I first spent my childhood mirth.
   3
   In Dunree Fort I often laughed and
   sported there my fill,
   And watched the soldiers gleaming bayonets.
   As they went through their drill.
   4
   But if I do not see you more,
   Or stand upon sweet Dunree shore.
   Where ever I am to make my home,
   My thoughts will be with you at home
