  1. John Ryan's song about Mylinns dance of Ballycuddy.
    When he came into the room,
    He was led with porter and whiskey,
    It rose in his head,
    When he came out to the right,
    HE stood on the floor, and inquired for a reel,
    The music was played by a chap you know well,
    He belongs to the place,
    And his name I will tell,
    His name was Mike Keegan,
    I will make no mistake,
    And Early's melidion he did make it speaks.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
