    Cromane Harbour
    As I sat at my ease in a place called Oileán
    I just dreamt to write about dear old Cromane
    This famous seashore is not advertised
    But if you pay us a visit you will be surprised
    You can learn how to dive or to swim
    But you must be careful, avoid the Purtaun
    Or he may bite your toe in the strand at Cromane
    From the beach near the station you have a good view
    You can see Rosbeigh, Inch Island and Lack mountains too.
    And watch the waves ripple with the coming tide
    See what your missing you old amadan
    When you fail to visit the strand at Cromane
