Years ago she left Millstreet in Duhallow for the U S of A
And from her Hometown by Clara Hill she does live far away
She was born Margaret Desmond, Margaret Desmond Sheehy now her name
But Margaret Sheehy and Margaret Desmond are one and of the same.
Working as a secretary for O Regan's Mills in Millstreet Town she began her professional career
But time does tick on quickly and that's going back many a year
A young and attractive and intelligent woman on hindsight i do recall
But us humans are not unlike Nature's Seasons our Summers fade to fall.
Related to Denis and Connie Taylor from her mother the Lucey family side
On her Millstreet family heritage she takes a justifiable pride
The Luceys and the Desmonds known to many in the countryside by Clara Hill
Where the Finnow to the Blackwater flows onwards with a will.
On the destiny of our life's journeys circumstance does have a say
Though nostalgia for the old home-place in the migrant seem to stay
And an email from Margaret Desmond Sheehy took me to the far away
To the countryside by Clara where we first saw light of day.
