Denis Mac

Denis Mac was a builder and was good at Gaelic football
And he owned the  Star Ballroom a famous dance hall
He knew of success and he lived a long life
And grew old in Millstreet Town with Cis Murphy his Millstreet wife
Denis and Cis  owned the cinema in Millstreet's West End
And in their long lives they made many a friend
By all accounts a  mighty man in his life's prime
In the nineteen twenties that is going back in time
A legend of Millstreet many years ago
But eventually time becomes everyone's foe
When i was a boy he was aging and  gray
And he was one  who had known a  far better day
Denis Mac long deceased but many stories are told
Of this legend for Millstreet in the green and gold.
