  1. A Local Song

    “Take down that cursed Ensign ¶ Old Erin's bitter woe”

    Share Share Post
    Take down that cursed Ensign,
    Old Erin's bitter woe,
    From the lovely vale of Ardfinnan,
    Where the river Suir does flow.
    Composed by Father Luddy, as he sat on the rock of Ardfinnan, and watched the Union Jack flying from the castle.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
