Far from where old Clara Mountain as ever looks down
John Brosnan's life ended in Ghana south of Millstreet Town
Survived by his family of time he did not live a long span
He did not live to grow old and die as an aged man
Not anywhere near to Duhallow his future was to be elsewhere
As a young man he went to see life in the big World out there
Not the first or the last migrant from their hometown to die far away
But he will be missed by his family and the friends of his younger years in Duhallow today
Doubtless he was one who remembered his younger years in Millstreet
And his friends of the past he would never more meet
To live and die in Millstreet for him not to be
In life we all fulfil our own destiny
For all of us from life a final release
Doubtless he was a good person may he now rest in peace.
