- Come boys, draw near and this song I will sing,
I'll tell you a little of a curious thing,
About the Maugha bonfire to honour St John,
As the sun was setting in the western horizon.I prepared for the bonfire to go,
When I saw the light at the top of the road,
Horns were sounded along by Meeng school,
I thought to myself 'twas the dawn of Home RuleWhen I arrived they had fire with a big rail of turf,
A fine rock of bogdeal and a large bush of furze,
The music began, how my heart leaped with joy,
For I thought the Redemption of Eirinn was nighFrom the top of the hill the McElliots came
And the Moloneys from Carrick advanced to the game
Likewise the Connells they were grand I ween
'Twould remind you of the Rising of Cahirciveen.(continues on next page)- Collector
