  1. Loyd Races

    Share Share Post
    On the road o'erhung with beeches,
    In my native Dormstown,
    Last evening I was straying,
    When the sun had just gone down.
    When I met my old friend, Looney,
    Who was greatly overjoy'd
    And most promptly he inquired
    Pat, are you going to Loyd.
    For there is no course in Erin,
    With the Kells one can compare,
    The scenes around Loyd's hillside
    Are so picturesque and fair.
    And at Navan races lately,
    We had all our mirth destroyed,
    By the rain that fell in torrents,
    Paddy, won't you come to Loyd.
