   Song on the Drowning in Lake Allen in 1831 (Contd) When their boat upset and they were left all tumbling in the deep. Early Saturday morning the news went up and down, Until it reached to Corry Point that was their native ground Such a doleful lamentation 'twas mournful for to hear, Between women, men and windows and their orphans thirty three. Such a dreadful slaughter in this country never was known, Since the Battle of the Boyne or Aughrim or Athlone, Waterloo or Trafalger where many did escape, But the whole of those are lying in the bottom of the lake. The wild fowl of the water no more they'll come to shore, The blackbirds and the thrushes will quit Mount Allen's grove, The trees in June no more will bloom but wither and decline, Since Johnny and all his comrades took their lodging in Kilbride, Through lonesome groves and valleys through woodlands I'll survey, I'll wander alone through Bottoms Grove till Johnny returns again." The story of the above drowning in Lake Allen is common in local tradition, hence I have given no names of seanchaidhthe. I got the above song from Pat. Gilmartin of Corralubber, Ballinaglera, Co. Leitrim. He got it from his uncle, Myley Gilmartin. The place Kilbride mentioned in the last verse is on the North shore of Lake Allen. There is a cemetery there and ruins of an old church.
