  1. Not from Flanders

    Share Share Post
    1st Stanza
    'Tis the Flemings came from Flanders
    I came from Ballylanders
    Where wealth and love meanders
    Through the garden and the lawn.

    2nd
    Ah while I stop and ponder
    My heart keeps growing fonder
    Of beloved Ballylanders
    And the townland of Cullane.

    3rd
    Beneath the Galtee Mountains
    Where flows the Morning Star
    Is a Modest little fountain
    Just east of Griston Bog.

    4th
    Where the Buckleys and the Hennessy's
    The Hayes' and Dineen's
    Keep pure their ancient lineage
    They mix with no Shoneens.
