Would You Like to Buy Some Flowers.

Chorus

Would you like to buy some flowers, sir
I’m selling some of mine.
I’ve got daisies for a nickel, sir,
And roses for a dime.
It don’t take a lot of money,
Just to show someone you care.
Would you like some pretty flowers, sir,
Cause I’ve got some to spare.

One day I went out walking down,
A busy city street.
I had lots of things to do,
And some important folks to meet,
When I saw a little flower girl,
Standing in the square,
Singing out above the market,
In the early morning air.

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I had to stop and listen,
I just couldn’t walk on by.
When I asked her where her mother was,
She took me by surprise,
And said, “Don’t think me a beggar, sir,
For I have learned to choose,
And I spread a little sunshine,
Even tho I’ve got the blues.”

Repeat Chorus Twice.

END.

Corcoran’s Brothers Bring Delaney Cup To Two-Mile-Borris, Thurles.

Littleton & Two-Mile-Borris Correspondent Mr Gerry Bowe now reports:-

Two Mile Borris was a place of celebration on Saturday evening, November 15th, as brothers Dan and Matt Corcoran returned home with the Delaney Cup, following Louth’s historic Leinster Football Championship victory earlier this year.

**Pic: L-R: Dan, their uncle Vincent and Matt pictured in front of the Corcoran public house in Two-Mile-Borris, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.**

The Corcoran family, Dan, Matt, and their parents David and Siobhán, originally from Blackrock, Co. Louth, proudly presented the cup after Louth’s landmark win on May 11th, in Croke Park, where they overcame Meath before a crowd of 65,786. The triumph ended a 68-year wait for the county.

The village of Two Mile Borris holds a strong connection to this achievement. Dan, with over 50 appearances for Louth and a stalwart at corner-back, played a central role in the success, while his brother Matt featured on the extended panel. Their father, David, is the son of Eileen and the late Seán Corcoran of Two Mile Borris, and the family maintains deep ties with the local Moycarkey-Borris GAA Club and with Tipperary sport generally, across both men’s and ladies’ codes.

**Pictured Dan & Matt Corcoran with their grandmother Eileen Corcoran and the Delaney Cup, on Saturday afternoon last in Two Mile Borris**.

David, Siobhán and their family are regular and welcome visitors to the village, and the community was delighted to share in this proud moment.

Dan and Matt will embark on new travels later this year, moving to Australia in December to explore the world. The people of Two Mile Borris extend their warmest good wishes to both brothers for good health, happiness and safe journeys in the years ahead.

The Farmer’s Daughter.

Tonight there’ll be candlelight and roses,
In this little country chapel that’s almost falling down.
There’ll be tears in this old farmer’s eyes this evening,
When I give my one possession to that city boy from town.
His hair is a little longer than we’re use to,
But, I guess I should find something good to say,
About this man who’s won the farmer’s daughter,
And will soon become my son-in-law today.
Mama left eight years ago December,
And it was hard to be a Dad and Mama too,
But somehow we made home of this old farmhouse,
And love was all my baby ever knew.
He could be the richest man in seven counties,
And not be good enough to take her hand,
But, he says he really loves the farmer’s daughter,
And I know the farmer’s daughter loves the man.
