Local Songs
“Well our town land I must admit it is so grand ¶ For there's not a bush without a thrush.”
Well our town land I must admit it is so grand
For there's not a bush without a thrush.
Nor field without a lane.
there's hills and dells and lovely wells.
And roads to walk a queen.
There's no such views.
Nor skies of blue.
In our little
Isle of green.
Chorus
When in the morning
to school I take this on
way I pass a lake
Rathgeenan.
As everybody knows
And further on there's
a lovely water valley.
Where the river Lagan flows.(continues on next page) - Informant
