    Local Songs
    The Malsters Song

    The boats of Kilgibbon
    And the cliffs of Bellore
    Pat Hughes of the Wood
    And young Pettigrew
    If you were in the Cutlers kiln
    And look out on the Quay
    Its there you'd see " Jemmy"
    And the "Saint" going away

    Two hundred of malt
    At a penny a sack
    You'd think and they starting
    That they'd never come back
    When they'd go to the net bank
    Their sail for to catch
    You'd think she was a steam boat
    Going down the "Reach"
    3
    When they'd go to the new bridge
    Their sail to pull down
    They feared if she'd strike
