    Ah Pullaheeney! they say your charming
    I endorse that saying as I know you well
    There is no boat port in all Tireragh
    To equal you when the truth I tell.
    Your fine broad shoulder has plenty water
    For any boat that might come this way
    Your bar so deep, free to navigation
    Gives you safe access to Killala Bay.
    On many times you have proved a blessing
    To fishermen who're been out to sea
