Songs
“If you want a drive round Castlemartyr sure you'll meet me on the stand”
I
If you want a drive round Castlemartyr.
Sure you'll meet me on the stand,
In my car so neat you can take your seat,
I'll drive you through the street so grand.

Sitting in my outside car.

Can give you plenty of fun,
I can sit upon my yoke and crack a joke,
With any boy under the sun
