  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    He heard this song, when he was at school, thirty five years ago
    An Old Song
    In Clones town,
    A though came down
    An angel bright and fair,
    When there a lass
    A chance to pass
    Whose face showed beauty rare,
    Young cupid dated
    Soon pierced my heart,
    Love sick and now shall sigh,
    Till hand in hand at after stand
    This charming maid and I
    The earth will run around the sun
    But dark shall life appear
