   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
