  1. "The Sandy Demesne of Enniscrone."
    I.
    On a cold a starry night,
    My poor dog he took, a flight
    In the search of some rabbits,
    Of the sandy demesne.
    II.
    Until he met with "Pat Mc hale,"
    And he called him by his name
    Saying what brings you here ahunting,
    In my sandy demesne.
    III
    Now your life is in my hand,
    And you will die upon the sands
    For to feed the kites and eagles,
    In my sandy demesne.
