Song (continued)
“Mary Daly is my name in King's Co. I was reared”
(continued from previous page)To the God she did adore,
And the school-house too
How bleak it stands
Where she learned her A.B.C.
And the Shannon's side
Where the waters glide
Where the teacher stood there with me.4.
Oh, sad my memory seems to me
As her memory I'll retrace
"Oh what will become of my children six
Oh what will become of (them)" the ancient race, "
When they go home to their lonely cot
To partake of their humber fair
They may sigh and cry
'Tis all in vain
no mother wil be there.Lil Mannion
