- (continued from previous page)When will you laugh at my airy comics,
Not till I come back to old Erin's shore.
So farewell dear father and likewise mother,
Farewell dear comrades all here around me.
When o'er the ocean I'll think of you,
Farewell mavourneen for thee I am sailing.
But woe to nature, it I will drown,
And a fond good bye to those colleens,
With light hearts airy in Knocknagown.The above song was composed by Patrick Twomey for John Heirlihy about twenty years ago when he was leaving for America.

From famed Blarney Castle to Mushera More.
All the sporting young farmers that live around here,
Came out in large numbers the huntsmen to cheer.
