There was a lad from Rosmuc!

There was a man from Rosmuc
Atop a giant cliff ready to leap
And fly away ,landing in death
In Galway Bay

He saw her at play that gruesome day
She was flailing her arms
A though slapping the wind
And he was never to see her again,

she was trying to stop him from making the jump
But his guilt for desertion overtook his emotions
And he leapt to his death with no hesitation.

She made her way to the bottom of the cliff
Where he lay so cold and oh so stiff
":Oh daddy don't you know it was okay to go
You wanted your home so lost without it
And now you found it.
Rest easy in your land father,
And I will remember too for when
I go to sleep I will sleep in our land
right next to you
