  1. Local Songs - The Fair of Stonehall

    Share Share Post
    The 14th May is the fair of Stonehall.
    Where the boys from the Line they flock one and all.
    Billeen Fitz and John Costello, Tom Rourke, and Den Brien.
    Were some of the gang that went there from the Line.
    The fair it was held in Mick Nashs fair green
    About a mile farther west of John Drurys boreen
    And the farmers round there both large ones and small.
    Brought their lambs and their rams to the fair of Stonehall.
    When the fair it was over the fun their began.
    With a trick of the loop man named (Tadyy) Tadhy Tiann
    And the bold Timble regger had things down pretty fine.
