- Moortown.Oh Moortown my own native place,
I love you as my mother earth,
No place on earth I love so well,
to old Tomhaggard school I went,
Where happy all my days were spent.
But as a man I have grown,
I think of Moortown happy home,
But Moortown you have also changed,
and good old friends are disarranged.

for poor old Cahil who nce lived there.
The good old blacksmith, too, has gone.
We can't replace that honest man(continues on next page)
