“From my father's home in the High Street, Owen's mountain can be seen”
O God be with you Drimoleague,
In High Street their's my home,
Of parents kind and brothers fond,
From them I have to roam,
To a distant neat alien skies,
A rower here am I, but where ere I roam,
I am proud to own,
I'm a gay young Drimoleague boy.

And the gallant men who worked in them
With courage stout and bold,
Those men as famed in history's page.
For workman ship and skill,
They like brothers help each other at the crowbar and the drill.

Where the river Illen rises and flows to Skibbree(continues on next page)
