  1. On the Hills of Curnagrea

    "On the Hills of Curnagrea"
    It was in the year of '34
    When things were poor and scant
    To repair old roads and lanes
    The Commission gave a grant
    The natives thought to hold it
    But their efforts were in vain
    The union men marched up the hill
    And captured all the lane
    The capturing lasted no length
    They didn't long hold sway
    For O'Duffy's men
    They charged them then
    And ran them to the Bay.
