Brendan Moynihan

He played football for Millstreet in his twenties And he is one I readily can recall Quiet spoken, down to earth and unassuming, A powerful fellow over six foot tall. He owned a pub in the West End of Millstreet Inherited from his mother in her will And outside the pub door on a cloud free evening One had a clear view of old Clara hill. A gentle giant his friends were in the many And he would only help you if he could And I will always recall Brendan Moynihan As one who had in him a lot of good. He always kept a couple of racing greyhounds For Millstreet is a dog and football Town On Summer evenings near the Town Park people walk their greyhounds Whilst young men chase the football up and down. A gentle giant admired and well respected For Millstreet in his prime he played football And when I reminisce about my Hometown He's one of those I often do recall.
