His place of board is in Dhurode
On the southwest of the Free State.
- The Land of Cannawee
I
As I roved out one evening to get poor Charlie shod.
My heart it was in motion from gazing at the strand.
I gazed upon a lovely lake most pleasant for to see.
The swans they glide along the tide.
At the Shores of Cannawee. II
And beside it stands a black smith's shop.
So every body says
Where all the horses of the place are shod without delays
Dennie Harrington and his anvil it rings most sweet to me.
And there he shoes those lamed old plugs
At the shores of Cannawee. III
Beside it stands a huckster shop
To you I will refrain
They say he is a noble man he is Mahony by name
He sells all sorts of tobacco and the best Blarney tea
Which makes old women jump with glee.
