    They all joined up
    And came down with Tommy Gray
    James Daniel and McEnroe
    What they got was never known
    James Reilly came too late
    And then they had nothing for their race
    This was got from,
    James Daniels
    Lisduagh,
    Cootehill,
    Co Cavan.

  2. A Local Poet

    Share Share Post
    This song was made by Patrick Mc.Cabe Killatee, who died the 4.5.1932 about the people that went to America.
    The night before leaving
    They are bidding good-bye,
    Early next morning
    Their heart gives a sigh.
    II
    Hear in old Ireland
    No longer can stay,
    For thousands are sailing
    To America.
