Kanturk

Kanturk by the Allow an old Duhallow Town In north County Cork with many claims to renown For the friendliness of it's people it is known far and wide Beyond the borders of the green countryside For one of it's great people Edel Quinn by name There is a Hall in the Town in honor of her name In her lifetime one who helped many of helping in need A beautiful woman and a great person indeed A Town i used to visit in decades gone by On looking back the Seasons how quickly time does fly So many nice people from there i have known One might say of them in a class of their own Kanturk in Duhallow i may never more see Though it retains a special place in my memory The Duhallow Town near where Allow does flow As on towards the Blackwater it winds deep and slow.
