  1. Old Songs - The Foxes' Chase

    Share Share Post
    (Composed by Pat Sheehan a native of Dangan, Golden)
    (I)
    In Dangan hill long time I lived,
    And all my generation.
    When I met that cub called Humpy Grubb
    Which disturbed my habitation.

    (II)
    The horn sounds and the cry of hounds
    In the morning aroused me early
    I stole away to take my leave with Luke (?)
    My next door neighbour.

    (III)
    Across the dear old Skibbreen
    And into Tobin's farm
    I made Seánín's geese go on their knees (?)
    And there to beg my pardon.
