  1. Old Stories - In Buncrana Donegal

    Share Share Post
    Round Buncrana, in County Donegal, it is said that no one will sing "The Pretty Girl milking her Cow". The reason is this. One night, a man was going for the priest for a man that was dying. He heard a voice singing this song. The voice was so beautiful that he stopped to listen to it. He delayed so long that in the meantime the man died without the priest.
