  1. A Song (continued)

    George Munnelly R.I.P. Kilcunamin,

    (continued from previous page)
    In search of trout and salmon
    Upon the River Moy"
    "You have robbed my Master
    and for it you will dearly pay
    I know he will reward us
    To take your life away"
    In vain, the creature pleaded
    "The salmon is my bread
    His prayers they were unheeded
    With a stone they smashed his head.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
