  1. An Old Song

    “I'm thinking tonight of Kilcolgan”

    Share Share Post
    I'm thinking to night of Kilcolgan
    That villiage far over the sea
    To the cottage wherein I was born
    My memory it brings back to me
    No 1
    The stile that I often climbed over
    The garden where many flowers grew
    And mother so patiently waiting
    How void was the picture to view
    No 3
    Kilcolgan I'm often times thinking
