Denny Hickey

Denny Hickey from Gortnacreha he died far away In Birmingham in England he lived his last night and day But he is at home in Cullen to stay In the cemetery in the Village his last remains lay The Hickeys of Gortnacreha are well liked and well known And Denny in Cullen is now among his own The Cullen where he went to school as a boy He would have remembered old memories with joy In Cullen where he had lived his younger years By friends and old neighbors and family he would have been farewelled in tears His yearn for adventure took him to elsewhere For to experience life in the big World out there Death from suffering does bring a final release The good man Denny Hickey may he rest in peace.
