    infernal crew.
    If risky does not take us soon.
    He will lose the largest share.
    For they will send us all to feed the hound
    As well as the old grey mare.
    A pedlar named James Smyth who used to travel this district composed the above local song. He died about 20 years ago and this song was told to me by Peter Hunt of Coole.

  2. Local Song - The Soupers of Coole

    Share Share Post
    One night as Fan Connolly lay down to sleep,
    She thought she was falling down very deep,
    To a bottomless abyss and there to remain,
    For coursed prostiling the Parish of Mayne
    Chorus
    Down Derry down Fannie lie down
    Down Derry down Soupers lie down
    2
    Satan he came for to welcome his guest,
    You are welcome now Fan for to now join the rest,
    Your noble ancestors there all here indeed,
    For changing old landmark all for a new creed.
