    “I went up to the cross of Feddons,”

    Local Songs
    I went up to the cross of Feddons
    And put rosin on my bow
    And the sound of my fiddle
    You could hear in Curraghmore
    I played in Knockaturney
    And I played in Moominane
    And where I ate my dinner
    Was at Fahey’s of “Cruacáin”
    I played for Micheal Kirby
    And for little Tom the Squeen
    I played for long Tom Hassett
    And the little Tailoreen
    I went in to Patrick Cusack
    For a saucer grain of meal
    And he said he hadn’t the like
    For the hens they weren’t layin’
    Composed by the late W.Rockett, Kilnasbeg, Clonea
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
