  2. Songs - On the First Day of November

    Share Share Post
    On the first day of November,
    To Cavan we did go,
    Our hearts were light
    For tenants right
    We know no grief nor woe.
    We passed that day in merriment,
    Our rights for to secure.
    But little we thought
    That we would be shot
    While passing through Drumalure
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
