  1. A Song

    Come sit you down comrades with me for a while.

    Come sit you down comrades with me for a while.
    Till I spend my last hours round Erins green isle.
    Come fill up your glasses and drink unto hand.
    For tomorrow. Ill be leaving from the shores of Lough Bran
    On the forth coming morning.
    I will bid mt adieu to Leitrim
    Drumshambo and sweet Carrick too.
    Far the place I am bound for is a far foreign land
    Far away from lovely Erin and the shores of Lough Bran.
