   “i often sat i raptures and listened with delight.”

   I often sat in raptures and listened with delight
   To stories told by old folks around the fires at night
   Of brave deeds done and victories won
   By land and on the seas
   Of smugglers, ghosts and outlaws and giants as tall as trees.

   II
   Some say that hookers too
   By sturdy seamen manned
   Were split in two on Dronacháin
   About a mile from land
   When captain Súgain smuggled goods
   From lands so far away.
   He was seen by King George's men
   When scudding up Clew Bay
   With the strongest straw-rope riggings
   As tough as ever grew
   And the Captain soaked in poteen
   With an Irish rebel crew
   He steered his way for Dawros Beg
   His cargo put on shore.
   And slept the sleep of Bacchus.
   With the ghost at Dooneen Mór
