Today I heard a song

It carried me back home to Ireland. I was driving through a pedestrian area in Paris when I heard someone whistling a tune from home which was one of my party pieces fado fado. The Rose of Mooncoin is the anthem song of Co. Kilkenny and every Kilkenny hurling supporter knows it well and sings it with great passion, especially in Croke park on all Ireland day. I traveled back to Ballinagoth where I passed many happy and quiet days in the valley of the Nore river
