John D Murphy

He never will look on old Clara again And in Spring hear the birds sing in the wind and the rain But those who knew him fond memories of him will retain And his spirit in old Claramore will remain In Claramore John D Murphy's life journey began And of years of life his was quite a lengthy span The good way of living he choose to embrace And in Millstreet Town his was a known and loved face A likeable fellow in his own happy way John D who performed his good deeds every day The seeds of good Karma for himself he did sow People like he was nice people to know One not out of place in the pub atmosphere He enjoyed his sessions of guinness and beer Whilst some seemed aggressive and looking for fight He drunk and he laughed and enjoyed his pub night A man who liked people and who enjoyed a joke The likeable John was a very good bloke By Cashman's Hill in St Mary's his last remains lay From his old home by Clara just a few miles away.
