This song is part of the Dan Courtney collection. It was sung by one of P. Walsh’s past pupils, as he was about to depart to the U.S.A. It is not known at this time if it is a composition of Courtney’s but it is likely that he had an input in it. The Glen that is referred to is Toorsaleen and Coomaspeara. The reference in verse eight to ‘buying up the news’ refers to the ‘News of the world’ newspaper, a scandalous publication at that time, but in much demand.
