- We'll sing you a song, and we'll sing with good will,
Its all about our little town of Mohill.
Through peace and through war, it has weathered the test,
And proved it's the best little town in the West. To the North we are linked up with Ballinamore,
To the South we are close to Lough Rynn's shady shore,
And just to the East lies the city of Cloone,
To the West Boyle & Carrick are reached very soon. From Treanmore we travel to Mullaghrace,
From the creamery down to the Fair Green we pace,
On streets good and wide, and the toepaths are fine,
All due to the work of Colreavy and Clyne.
Our landmarks are many - we've lots of stray goats,
And a splendid new mill for the crushing of oats,
Erected quite recently by Mr. Crowe,
But the real driving power is the one known as Co. Our creamery forges ahead at full steam,
It's dealing with millions of gallons of cream,
Jack Kelly each month pays out cheques by the score,
But suppliers complain that Kiltoghert pays more.(continues on next page)
