- In the penal times Randlestown was the old place for saying Mass. There is an old Chapel in Randlestown where Mass used to be said in Penal days. The people who owned the Chapel were the Randles. There was an old graveyard near the Chapel. In some years later the Chapel was knocked. The ruins are there yet. There was a hole in the ground. The people could go into the hole and walk through it.

- Chip Chip Cherry all the men in Derry would not climb up chip chip cherry.
A spark going up the chimney.
As I went up Tara hill I met a man a hanging I drank his blood and ate his flesh and left his bones a hanging.
A blackberry.
Middy noddy round the body three feet and a wooden hat.
A pot.
