  1. Old Songs - Rory of the Hills (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    The mountains of Tipperary I rambled through and fro.
    The Galtee Mares you know right well and the glens of Augharlow.
    A bad agent or a landlord, I cannot bear them still,
    I’ll give them whet the baker got says Rory of the hill.
    III
    O’, Erin are your daughters gone the foremost of the day.
    When your gallant sons, the best of men were forced to cross the sea.
    They were form landlords who are in Erin still.
    But boys keep your powder dry says Rory of the hill.
    Nellie Duggan
    This song was composed by Mr. Mc. Curtin the poet.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
