THE ROAD THROUGH EASTERSNOW

THE ROAD THROUGH EASTERSNOW

If you’re not and Irish music fan Its time you did begin

We’ll take you on through Croghan by the back road from Elphin

We know you’ll like the countryside as further north we go

Our port of call is Dickie’s on the road through Eastersnow.

 CHORUS

You’ll meet Una, Breege and Eileen, that trio they’re so cute

Plus two Pats – no caps or hats

And Charlie on the flute

For music and for talent – sure it is the status quo

You’ll find it all at Dickie’s on the road through Eastersnow

The atmosphere is friendly there, They make you feel at home

You’ll get no better welcome no matter where you roam

With all the friendly faces there – they surely let you know

You’ll get Céad Míle Fáilte on the road through Eastersnow

You’ll meet the finest dancers there to give them all their due

They’ll do the Stack of Barley and they’ll Shoe the Donkey too!

And when you hear the singers there – you know they’re not too slow

They’ll surely rise your spirits on the road through Eastersnow.

Note:  Dickie & Una Beirne own a lovely little pub in the parish of Croghan, Co. Roscommon.  This poem was written by the late Pat Kenny   is dedicated to them and the patrons of ‘Dickie’s’.
