Local Songs (continued)
“How I love to remember those bright days of yore”
(continued from previous page)And it's you I'll invite where I first saw the light
Mount Massey the flower of Macroom.
II
In the sweet Summer time when the weather was fine
What fun there used to be at the gate
The music would ring, the dancers to please
And the lovers their fond tales relate
How the colleens would smile as they sat by the stile
That's facing Mount Massey's domain
And their lovers so fair standing by their side there
And music sweet notes did beguile .
