“I am lonely to-night oh! my sad heat is aching”
1.
I often climbed the Hill of Ward,
Some thirty years ago.
And sat upon its grassy sward,
And viewed the vales below.Tom Potterton, Kildalkey.2.
One fine Sunday evening in the month of May,
To Rathcormac I did stray.
I met Tom Garry on my way,
There is a dance in Hesnans, Tom did say
The've Browne and McDonnell
for the night to play.
Whack fol the diddle o' the dye do day.Told by Patrick Newman Wood, Kildalkey.Local Songs

Far far from the loved ones in Trim I must roam.(continues on next page)- Informant
