“End of song composed by Pat Hughes...”
End of a Song composed by Pat Hughes of Rathlawn about 60 years ago + recorded by Jos Ryan pensioner aged 70 Knockananna.
Mind this you scheming landlords
And your cunning agents too
For we'll be here behind you
No matter what you do.
You are only fools for
When in your graves
We'll be here behind you
Yous would be glad
The nephews had been to your tenants kind
So yous have a chance like all the rest
The lovliest on earth
Honor makes us compare
Here in the land that gave us birth
And your name will live in story
With us for evermore
And her'es reunion
We'll agree upon our native shore.

If you find white heather you will get your wish.
If you find a horseshoe spit on it + throw it over your left shoulder + you'll find something better
