This rather lengthy collection of seven verses was written by John J McCarthy, a young man of Muintervara (Sheep’s Head) who emigrated and fared well in America. Yet, he never forgot his homeland.
We are grateful to our dedicated member, Charlie McCarthy of Muintervara, for providing the material for this project.
Compiled and edited by Angela O’Donovan, Cathaoirleach, BHAS.
