Song - Tenacre  [duchas:5000929]

There's a cross in Tenacre a place of renown
A nice little village eight miles from the town. 
Where the good Irish peasant on Sunday is seen.
Propped up by the window of Pender's Shibeen
That neat little pub which read on it's sign
Licensed to sell bar, spirits and wine.
At the close of the day
When his work is all done
Dick Whit will go up to join in the fun.

Song - Tenacre  [duchas:5000930]

And there he'll meet Lacey an old pal of yore,
Who spent all his money and wished he had more.
