  1. A Welcome to Garryricken

    Share Share Post
    Composed by Mr John Dunne, School Master, in Poulacapple, about 60 years ago.
    I
    Rejoice! Rejoice! with heart and voice,
    My boys from Garryricken.
    To illuminate around Ormonde's Gate
    With arch and bonfire quicken.
    II
    The smoke rises o'er sweet Coolaghmore
    And the hills round Kylevalla.
    Our glassen cup we'll fill it up,
    Céad míle fáilte abhaile.

    When chaps have money they think they are men,
    But when the money is gone they are chaps again.
