- Johnny Doran's BallHave you heard of Johnny Doran
In the cottage at Lugduff
One Sunday night to our delight
To a fancy ball we took.
There were Kennys from the Togher
And Crows from Garryhoe
Along with Michael Hennessy
And Maisie Byrne a stór.There were some of them there neighbours
And more from out the town
Who came that night to Doran's ball
And paid their half-a-crown.
Mick Kenny he stood at the door
To welcome all hands in

And the dancing did begin.There were Civic Guards and engine men
All ready for the floow
Along with Jimmy Hennessy
And Eileen Byrne a stór.(continues on next page)
