No doubt the times are changing
from what they were of old
When you see a motor rushing up
the winding Glenree road.
The gentlemen with dog and gun
Came fowling to this place
And with merriment and laughter

to join them in the sport
Their well trained dogs are eager
to hear the loud reports
Patiently they wait, the same,
no better can be found
They know when the gun is sighted
The cock grouse comes to the ground.

Come coursing with their greyhounds
On a fine December day

None with them can compare(continues on next page)
