  1. Folklore - Song - My Inchigeela Lass

    I
    To greet you proud Eve Leary's sons and daughters
    Fair and true
    Assembled at the southern club
    All friendships to renew
    The annual opportunity allowed to let it pass
    'Ere I will recite a tale to night to my Inchigeela Lass.
    II
    She is modest as the cooing dove as gentle as the fawn.
    That roamed o'er Desmond's storied heights
    Or the high lands of Gugane
    No God is fair or Grecian lair
    In beauty can surpass
    She is my winsome rogue
    My Maúreen óg my Inchigeela
