Notes

I'm told that the road from Carrickmacross to Crossmaglen is lined with your worst sort of rogues. The verse perhaps comes from some old cantankerous Irishman who probably never himself walked this road. If he had, he would surely have been charmed with the likes of what he saw and heard. (Another tune to delight Ed's close friend from Armagh: Lou Quinn).
