  1. Song - Lord Curraghmore

    Share Share Post
    On the 28th of May me boys in 1859.
    His hero was cut down all in his youth and prime. Raynard on before him crying "Tally Hoo".
    Tis on the hills of Miltown we left his lordship low. The window and the orphan his loss they may deplore. Since they lost their brave Lord Henery the pride of Curraghmore.
    Since she lost her novel marquis her bright true hearted friend.
    Before I leave my pen aside I will praise you Johney Ryan.
    Tis many a salty tear you shed when you saw his lordship dying.
    and you left him in a lonely tomb in which indeed I am.
