   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The three castle head is on your right as you enter Dunmanus Bay from the Atlantic ocean and the Sheep's Head is on the left. This song is sung locally by the people around the headland.

   Come all you lads of liberty and listen to my song
   I'll sing you a few verses to pass the time along
   Concerning that historic spot which you have seen or nead
   Of lofty peaks and the craggy creeks of the
   Bold Three Castle Head

   Now to sing in truth its praises I'm really at a loss
   And to paint its beauteous pictures my pen it will surpass
   Where natures beaties charms, they are all gone or dead
   And where beauty will fade when there compared with
   The Bold Three Castle Head.

   And crowning all its beauty there on that ground-stone
   The relics of old ancient times the home of armed band
   Hemmed in between those mountains like lovers shady bowers
   Stands the relics of old ancient times three strong and lofty towers
