When One Talks Of County Armagh

When one talks of county Armagh I think of John Tarrant's wife Eileen And the wildering flowers that bloom in Spring by unpolluted stream And rain and wind and showers of hail and sunshine in between And a County fresh and beautiful in a Land that's Evergreen. When one talks of County Armagh, I think of the road bowl playing man The great bowler McPartland, the one and only Dan The former All Ireland champion and I can still recall His great duels with Mick Barry from Cork and Waterfall. When one talks of County Armagh, what comes to memory? Saint Patrick and the shamrock and Irish history And Brian Boru the warrior no braver man than he The battle of Clontarf in 1014 his greatest victory. When one talks of County Armagh what readily comes to mind The Irishness and friendliness of a people good and kind The warmth in their greeting and their hospitality If you visit Armagh person's house you won't leave without tea.
