    Unpublished Song about Carbury
    The Old Hill of Carbury
    On the brave old hill of Carbury,
    Many a time we met,
    The summer birds sang merrily,
    I never shall forget.
    T'was there we wandered side by side,
    It was there our love began.
    T'was there she said she'd be the bride,
    Of Charley Óg McCann.
    II
    T'was in the merry month of May,
    We met upon the green.
    The finest at the fair was he,
    Brave Charley Óg was seen.
    The finest at the fair was he,
    Where mirth and music rang.
    And many a fair maid envied me,
    With Charley Óg McCann.
