    happiness and prosperity took the bride for a dance then some of the party sang or danced. Refreshments were given to them and after spending an hour or so they left. The straw boys were always welcomed at the wedding house.

  2. A Local Song

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Curvey.
    There lives a race horse
    She throw her legs sideways
    She gallops and trots
    She brought Martin to town to market and fair and they call her Dáil Éireann the very high mare. This was composed by Greevys of Aughagower fifty four years ago about a race horse.
