    I suppose you have been to Kilkenny,
    You haven't well now I declare,
    You must wait till been to Kilkenny
    And see the fine town we have there
    There's only one street in Kilkenny
    And I'm sure it's a glory to see.
    You may talk till your dumb
    And that's where there's fun,
    Kilkenny's the place for me.
    This little song was recently composed but the author is unknown.
