In the old graveyard in Millstreet Town Paddy McSweeney’s remains lay
He truly was a gentleman in every sort of way
An old citizen of Church Street and a very well liked man
As human life it does go his was a lengthy span.
A very wise and clever man is the Paddy I recall
One who never harmed anyone in any way at all
For to help out other people he often went out of his way
And if there’s a heaven he is there no need for him to pray. [read more …] “Paddy McSweeney”
