The Old Mountain Roadway

The old mountain roadway winds up and down
That links Rathmore in Sliabh Luachra to Duhallow's Millstreet Town
Along by Clara and Gortavehy  with the face of stone
And by high and rugged Caherbarnagh on towards the Paps of  Shrone
Through a mountainy countryside where despite human industrialization natural beauty survive
A nice road for to travel on for a scenic drive
Along by the Boggeragh Ranges that are so old in time
That have inspired the writers of  song, story and rhyme
Of a beauty that was old when the first people arrived in the Land known as Ireland today
Such natural beauty with who witness it a whole lifetime does stay
Where the Counties of Cork and of Kerry do meet
On the mountain road towards Rathmore from the Town of Millstreet
Such a beautiful memory a lifetime to retain
In moments of nostalgia for to visit again.
