On The Passing Of Aubane's John Kelleher

For John Kelleher who to many was a good friend
The journey in life has come to an end
In Aubane he lived all of his life
And there raised his children with Kathleen his good wife

Of the old Aubane Gaelic Football Club he was a loyal fan
And in Duhallow he became a well known and liked man
Always supporting the Aubane team in the field of play
Only in death good memories seem to fade away

When Aubane had a Football Club he was in his life's prime
But this is going back many decades in time
And changes have been happening in Duhallow since then
The young of the sixties now ageing women and men

Where the ancient Hill of Mushera as ever looks down
On the green valley of Aubane above Millstreet Town
John kelleher was one who was was well liked and well known
As an honourable fellow one of Aubane's own

The last breath of life from his body has gone
But in all who knew and knew of him good memories of him will live on
He was a great person for to give him his due
And to his higher self he was one who lived true

He was there when Aubane did play their last game
And without him the valley in view of Mushera will not be the same
From life for us all there will be a final release
Among the deceased of Millstreet may he rest in peace.
