Song
“The children were hid in the ridges.”
The children were hid in the ridges
The Nolans with pitchforks and flails,
Came out like a swarm of midges,
To skiver and thrush the O'Neills.This is part of a song heard by Mrs. Maxwell (60) of Rockmount, Canningstown P.O. She was a Carr from Drumooslin near Bailieboro.- To entertain a visitor to a farmer's house in Tullylurkin about 1800, there was put on the table, a roll of butter, cakes of oaten bread, honey in combs and tumblers of new milk. They also used homemade cheese in this house.
