  1. A Local Song

    “I swam the Blackwater, I fished in the Bride, And I chased the wild hare Round the blue mountain side.”

    I swam the Blackwater,
    I fished in the Bride,
    And I chased the wild hare,
    Round the blue mountain side.

    There is old Ferry Lane,
    Where I used to play ball,
    When I went to school,
    To a man Johnny Wall.

    We may meet again,
    In some far distant shore,
    But never-oh never,
    In the town of Lismore.
