- "Where the Mulchair river flows"I'll sing you a song of a lovely place
It's where I'd like to be
Where I would spend the time away
In merriment and glee.
It's collins fair, I do declare and will
there I will go
For to take a strole along the bank
Where the Mulchair river flows. It's often I think of the good old time
When in my youth and bloom
I hunted on the mountains high by

Through Carrigbeg and Castletown, a

and Gurtavallas muddy land
Where the Mulchair river flows.And now it's night my comrades bright

Train up your youth to hunt and shoot,
And play the game of hunt the hare(continues on next page)
