On a sloping hill near Shercock town
Beside a lake so clear.
There dwelled a charming songster
And he is known both far and near.
A member he is likeways of
Of Knockbride fame flute band
And the songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan strand
2
In all the local concerts
He took a leading part
His soft harmonous clear sweet voice
Would really thrill your heart
The highest fame he always gains
At gatherings great and grand
The songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan strand
3
Opposition he oftimes met
But does not feel afraid
But seems to say in his pleasing way
It been the life of trade
For the cause of faith and father - land
He always takes a stand
The songster best of Knockbride east
Lives near Lough Sillan strand.(continues on next page)
