Paddy Mcsweeney

In the old graveyard in Millstreet Town Paddy McSweeney's remains lay He truly was a gentleman in every sort of way An old citizen of Church Street and a very well liked man As human life it does go his was a lengthy span. A very wise and clever man is the Paddy i recall One who never harmed anyone in any way at all For to help out other people he often went out of his way And if there's a heaven he is there no need for him to pray. A religious and spiritual person yet to him a humorous side And all around Duhallow he was known far and wide To the gifts of honesty and compassion through life he remained true And the pathway to the higher self he always did pursue. In his beloved Town of Millstreet fond memories of him will remain One hopes he had a peaceful end and did not suffer any pain He was a thorough gentleman untainted by conceit One of the nicest people that one could wish to meet. Paddy McSweeney is no longer with us that does seem sad to say In the old graveyard at the West End his final remains lay Around the Town of Millstreet he will never more be seen But memories of the man he was will remain evergreen.
