- There lived a man at the back of the sleepy place.
As it was called And his name was Pat Casey
And he had a shop there.
It was situated near crickanynock public road
It was only a small shop that was
built there long years ago
by some of the old inhabitants that lived there long ago.
His own dwelling house was made of timber. There is no sight of the house or the shop to be seen there now.
It was only a small grocery shop. And maybe that man sold as much as any shopkeeper ever did
There is nothing but stones and green fields to be seen there now. And when he died he was buried at the back of the sleepy place. And theres another man buried there but nobody knows his name.
