“On the first of July in the year”
I
On the first of July in the year 83
First commenced the career of our worthy J.P.
May the dew drops of eaven
Descend from the sky
And pour blessings on the crown of Killorglin's brave boy
He is the captain of those Rangers
That are famed for their skill.
But none can surpass
The young youth from Brookhill.
II
He has thirty first prizes
At home I am told.
And all are composed
Of both silver and gold.
He has won all those prizes
With gallant fair play.
He is the noblest of sons
That stand Kerry to day.
III
When he starts for a race
He will die or fulfill
For victory shall crown
The young youth from Brookhill.(continues on next page)
