“Tis well I do remember the Drimoleague quarries old”
(continued from previous page)At the dead of night unseen.
I heaved a sigh and bade good bye.
To dear old Skibbereen.
Local Songs
“We are a parish of Caheragh boys, From Tooreen and famed Lissane”
1.
We are a parish of Caheragh boys,
From Tooreen and famed Lissane,
Lissane it is my native land a ploughland long of fame
Where Ireland's leading poets were reared and champions best of men that Erin could send on the field.
2.
So now the morning is drawing nigh and I must be going away
For the steamship waits at Queenstown gates for to take me over the sea
I have id farewell to my acquaintances that lived near old Shibbereen
