Above his evergreen fields of old Lackabawn
He saw many a sunset and many a dawn
Though in all who knew him good memories of him will remain
In the flesh Matty O Riordan will not be seen in Millstreet again
He was quite a gentleman in every way
And he lived to a good age of him one can say
In Lackabawn he was raised and grew into a man
And there spent the greater part of his long lived life span
The life journey for him ended in the early Fall
There is a last day and last night for us all
The mental images of him that remain to recall
As a young man he was handsome and dark haired and tall
Gone from Lackabawn another well loved face
And Millstreet without him a much poorer place
In his many years of living he never harmed anyone
And his mother and father in him raised a good son
Our very young years go quickly as does our life’s prime
And eventually we all become victims of time
And for us all from the cares of living a final release
The good man Matty O Riordan may he now rest in peace.
