Glenamuckla in Newmarket was Billy O’ Leary’s first home-place
But in Millstreet where he lived with his wife and they raised their daughter his was a known and loved face
The passing from life would not have gone without tears
Of the man who had worked in Mallow Beet Factory for many years
In Maurice and Lal Dennehy’s pub he enjoyed many a night
Where of worries if he had any he used to make light
Amongst the characters of Millstreet he is one that one can name
An easy going fellow he always seemed the same
The sad news of his passing has traveled far and wide
And that he lived as a good person of him cannot be denied
One can only hope his parting from life was a painless release
In St Mary’s by Cashman’s Hill may he rest in peace
And of him it is only true for to say
That he was a good person in every way.
