    Seán he will go out at night
    And loudly he will roar.
    For "oh dear son I'm nearly done"
    Mixing the Poll Mór.
    (XII)
    If you take too much of it
    Your head it will make sore.
    The Derry whiskey is awful strong,
    When doubled three times o'er.

    History Edit

  2. Fionntrá - Amhrán

    Share Share Post
    In the quarter land of Fintra
    There lived a nice young man
    He was as nice a young man
    As ever stepped on sea or land
    James Mc Monigle was his name
    He was a young man of great fame
    It is not for to grieve us
    But hopes for to relieve us
    That he is going to leave us
    To the north of America
