“The hag in Labbycally had a sister in Corrin three miles away.”
The hag in Labbycally had a sister in Corrin three miles away. She used stretch her hand shake hands with her and comb the hair with the same comb.
When the hag threw her husband Siarla into the river she had to go out next morning in the dew, and she had no one to wipe the dew from her feet, so she cried
"Dá olcas é Siarla is measa bheith 'na eagmeus'." It is said that there is print of 5 fingers on Cloc Siarla in the river""The Mill of Labbycally
It badly spent its time
It wouldn't grind in the calm
And the floods set it wild
Referring to Kellehers mill built on riverbank
