  1. The Maids of Ardagh

    Kitty Lynch. June 22nd 1938
    Glenastar,
    Ardagh,
    Co. Limerick.
    The Maids of Ardagh.
    Not far beyond Knockfierna height.
    The moon was thrown its silvery light.
    My spirit home-wards takes a flight.
    To meet the maids of Ardagh.
    No rose with in the morning bower.
    Blooms fresh with in the sunning shower.
    And Mary was the fairest flower.
    That ever bloomed in Ardagh.
    I praised her beauty long and loud.
    And round her waist my arms I flung.
    And said my lassie wilth thou gang.
    To view the maids of Ardagh.
    Told to me by my mother.
    Mrs. John Lynch,
    Glenastar,
    Ardagh,
    Co. Limerick.
