North Cork Mystery Busk Tour.©
    (2021 Limited Venues)

We'll busk in the the back streets
of Buttevant
And we'll sing at the cross roads in
Bweeng
we'll juggle our ***** in
Kildorrery
and we'll whistle some airs in
between

We'll recite a new poem in Killavullen
that we learned back in Ballydaheen
As we've yet to perform it in Cullen
After Doneraile, it remains to be seen.

We mustn’t forget to do Churchtown
but there’s no way we'll travel to Schneem
we'd rather play for the Sanctuary Donkey’s
Or even drive up to Ballaghaderreen

We’ll do Mitchelstown on our way back
from Charleville, Dromahane and Kanturk
we’ve not been, but if we miss out a town
or a village, it will mean that you’re not
very keen.

Now that you’re on your own
And this whole world’s gone mad
What directions ever known
From a suitcase and a song
You’re walking that slow silent walk
So this world is still spinning around
I wonder who’s waiting for me
These are the days he thought
Sing it to me softly
Dispel these crazy myths
Break it to me gently
This puzzle piece won’t fit
She waits for him and Mitchelstown
How would she even know
Came flying on a swift cloud
Now Molly is growing old
Why did you choose this place
What brought you here
You and your eccentric ways
And peculiar days
You are doing well I can tell
Life is coming your way
You took a break and turned the page
It’s a song you’ve never played

— The End —
