   Lines written by "Dick Nash", M.J. Murphey and B.J. Murphy. Brosna on a "night" given by a Kerry Moonlighter on his return home after 30 years absence in the U.S.A. The Moonlighter was B.M. Murphy familiarly known as Big Batt and the "At Home" as held in the old thatched cottage, the home of his boyhood days, at Ahane - the year 1902.

   The Lay.

   You may read of stately banquets
   In story and in song,
   In feudal Hall or mansion tall
   Where silken lordlings throng.
   We but tell in simple measure
   How we sang and danced till dawn
   When Yank Murphy stood the "racket".
   At his boyhood's home - Ahane.

   Jim [?] got his concertina in line
   And boys and girls merrily
   Were dancing very soon,
   The music then grew loud and fast
   The fun grew fast likewise
   The old place rang in revelry
   Of simple rustic joys.

   Dick Nash upon his fiddle [?]
   Sweet music well did play
