  1. Local Song - Tottenham's Fair

    I
    In Brittish in knowledge,
    He views his extractions,
    A decendant of honour of fame and renown.
    A friend to his tenants, and head to no faction,
    There are few such gentlemen now to be found.
    Come home I advise you,
    Your slaves are behind you.
    Your tenants are pining,
    You stripped them so bare.
    Poor souls of my envy, the boys of Glenfarne.
    Brave Kiltyclogher and Tottenham's fair.
    II
    And she who elopes, in her true lovers arms,
    Gets five pounds rewards at Tottenham's fair
