    mile Square.

    At last I've come to Grenagh, where Im trying to start the fun.
    What a silly name they gave it when they called it "The Land of the Sun",
    Where is their wit and humour, will they ever try at all?
    Or who composed the Races and the Farmer's Union ball.
    In this lonely little valley Ill wait in patience there
    Well I know Ill get my answer in The Twenty one mile Square.
