  1. This song was composed by a very wise man and he was a poet at the same time. He lived in the parish of Clarenbridge and he called the song by the name of "Charming Sweet Tyrone". -:
    I will now sit down to pen these lines
    Which I'm inclined to do
    Concerning Tyrone a lovely place
    Which I did lately view
    I did survey the court all round
    As I did walk alone
    But never did I see a place so grand
    As "Charming Sweet Tyrone"
