Tom Goggin The Singer
by Francis DugganOne who has witnessed the birth of many a Spring
Tom Goggin the singer one who surely can sing
His rendering of ‘Two Sweethearts’ on tape quite delightful to hear
So beautifully rendered melodious and clear
Physically he may have seen a far better day
But that he is a fine singer would seem fair to say
Tom Goggin he does have a rare gift indeed
At singing well without musical backing few could hope to succeed
But to him it does seem to come so naturally
A rare talent for to have would you not agree
Amongst those who love solo singing his talents he does share
The best of Kilcorney his kind nowadays rare
His sweet singing voice has matured like good wine
Go sing it again Tom you do it so fine.
