Jimmy Scannell

In Kiskeam in Duhallow his journey in life began
And there from a boy he grew into a man
He worked for Tom Mulcahy at Annagloor west of Millstreet Town more than three decades ago
On looking back time does pass quickly at least it seems so
Jimmy Scannell an honest down to earth fellow untainted by conceit
In Kilmallock in County Limerick where he went to live his soulmate he did meet
And in Kilmallock from Kiskeam in kilometers by road far away
The last remains of Jimmy Scannell does lay
Of late he died in his late sixties or early seventies give or take a few years
And his passing from life i feel sure would not have gone without tears
It can be truly said of him that he never harmed anyone
And that his mother and father in him raised a good son
One can only hope that his passing from life for him was a painless release
Jimmy Scannell who lived as a good person may he now rest in peace.
