  1. A Local Song

    “Lynche's Stout is good no doubt”

    Share Share Post
    Lynche's Stout is good no doubt
    In either wood or bottle
    His bass and ale will never fail
    To quench a thristy trottle
    His rum and wine are very fine
    They make the weary frisky
    There ne'er was a draught that yet was quaffed
    Could equal Lynche's whiskey.

    This Mr. Lynch lived in Enagh, Virginia, Co. Cavan about 3 miles North of the town of Virginia.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
