She was the Pride of Dromtarriffe when in her physical prime
But this is going back many Seasons in time
An ageing grandmother her best days long gone
And only the memories with her linger on
Of when she was admired as Duhallow's Pride
The fairest by far in the green countryside
But the clock on her life does keep ticking away
There is a new Pride in Dromtarriffe today
Back in the years when her hair was light brown
She danced in the Edel Quinn Hall in Kanturk and The Star in Millstreet Town
She was one who was very popular back then
And she did have the pick of Duhallow's young men
The ex Pride of Dromtarriffe in brown hair dye cloaks her gray
Quite slim in her prime she does look plump today
She is not the beauty that she once used to be
One can say she looks every day of seventy three
Her aging husband who loved her in Seasons gone by
For women far younger has the roving eye
Like many ageing males tired of his ageing wife
Just looking at young beauty sparks some joy in his life
The ex Pride of Dromtarriffe her better days in the past
And the clock on her life ever keeps ticking fast
She was a rare beauty when in her life's prime
But this is going back many Seasons in time.
