Local Song (continued)
“In these ages of steam-engine power,”
(continued from previous page)(III)You will see the Benbulbin mountain
Where a prince and his lady might dwell
You will see the glen and the fountain
All around by Sweet Lisadell
You will see all around Knocknaree
An back to sweet Lurganboy
Your will see all around Sligo Bay
If you take a trip with Jack Hoey.
CHORUS
(IV)Make haste and get married this season
Fro time is fast fleeing away
There is nought to be gained by being lazy
But a great deal's lost by delay
Be quick and get married this season
In the sweet time of summer and joy,
It will cheer up yourself and your missus
To be driven by noble Jack Hoey.
(CHORUS)
Told and sung by James Devins who remembers seeing Jack Hoey and his car.
