  1. Local Song

    “As I strolled out the other night I met a jolly gang”

    Share Share Post
    As I strolled out the other night
    I met a jolly gang
    They told me of the fun they had
    And what they were going to plan
    Chorus.
    With my tirey-iggety-irey-iggety
    -irey-iggety-ae.
    II
    We all went off together
    And we joined in unity
    We strolled across the curraghs
    'Till we came to Geraghty's
    Chorus
    III
    When we went in we all sat down,
    'Twas then the fun began,
    Mary talked of Ballyduff
    And the way she courted Tom.
    Chorus.
