Come all you gallant poachers who ramble void of care,Who wander out on a moonlit night with your dog, your gun and snare,The hare and lofty pheasant you have at your command,Not thinking of your long career spend on Van Dieman’s land.Poor Thomas Brown from Nenagh town, John Murphy and Poor Joe,Where three determined poachers,Lire la suite « Van Diemen’s Land – Cara Dillon – letras »

Some walls are made of stoneSome times we build our ownSome walls will stand for yearsSome wash away with tearsSome walls are lined with goldSome hearts stay safe and coldSome walls are made of doubtHolding in and keeping outIf there’s any hope for love at allSome walls must fallSome walls are built on prideSome keepLire la suite « Walls – Cara Dillon – letras »
