  1. A Local Song

    “Good bye to lios an uisce”

    Share Share Post
    Good bye to Lios an Uisce
    The cradle of my birth
    Farewell to Bun an t-Sleibhe hills
    The place of fun and mirth
    Good bye to sweet Cúl Crónan
    Its woodlands ever green
    Where many is the evening
    I did stroll along with my Coleen
    As I look out on the ocean
    I think of Loc Conn so blue
    Pontoon hills and Drummin woods
    The most charming for to view
    Bilberry and Glassisland
    Where there is poteen made go leór
    For I am sure there is no bad spirits allowed.
    In the parish of Kockmore.
    As I sailed from Londonderry
    In April eighty two.
