    amháin le feiceál ar an mbaile anois agus is annsin a bhíodh na daoine na gcomhnuidhe fadó agus annsin dheinidís tighthe nuadh. Bhí go leor daoine ag dul go Meiriceá as san am fadó. Is minic a luadhadh ainm ha h-áite in amhrán agus i sean fhocal. Dubhairt an file Colm a'Bhailís uair in amhrán:
    Inis Meadhoin inis gan arán,
    Inis gann gortach,
    An lá a theigheann's tú ann,
    Beir leat do chuid arán,
    Nó beidh tú an lá sin do throsgadh.
    Ní aontuigheann na daoine leis sin mar tá na daoine go flaitheamhail san n-oileán. Tá an talamh atá ann bocht agus carraigeach agus níl aon chuid de faoi choillte. Níl aon abhainn ná aon loch ann ach amháin loch Cheann Gainimhe, loch Chró na gCadhan agus loch an Lisín. Níl aon scéalta nó seanchas ann na dtaobh.
