    None of these forts have ever been touched in the memory of anybody connected with the town. It would be considered very unlucky to interfere with them.

    You boys and girls from Cavan town,
    From Killenkere and Muff,
    From sweet Cootehill and Simpsons Mill, Knockbride and Ballyduff
    To meet your friends and relatives,
    I will give you all a chance
    You will find them all in Donavan's,
    at the Bailieboro Dance.
    You will find there there from Derry
    And Donegal as well
    The Loughlins and the Kellys,
    With the Doctor from Clonmel,
    And Johnnie Ward with the Landlord
    It's ion the floor will prance,
