  1. An Old Ballad
    A stranger into Killala came,
    That little town of fame,
    Some of them did not know him,
    Nor even know his name.
    Some of them called him Ginty,
    And others called him Foy.
    But he was Tom Doohers trapper,
    And his name it was Gilroy.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
