Mark my words, "no good will come of a mixed marriage" I`m from Armagh and my wife is from Tyrone, so I know things.    Anyway congrats KM I hope you have a great life together.

Good man Mike. One of life's gentlemen.

The little hills of Monaghan are often on my mind
The folk that left there long ago and the land they left behind
My home is on Prince Edward's Isle
My thoughts go back each day
To the little hills of Monaghan they seem so far away
My Granddad came from Kelly's Cross Grandma from Emyvale
They wed in Ballylischa before the boat set sail
To find Prince Edward's Island just off the far land shore
They said farewell to Ireland and friends they'd see no more

But I'm third generation and my dreams have all come true
I'm back again in Monaghan among my friends in Trough
I have seen the Rocky Mountains looked down Niagara Falls
The little hills of Monaghan are the grandest sight of all

I've often heard my Granddad tell of how it all began
The letter sent by Father Pat to his home in Monaghan
From the parish of Prince Edward's Isle they told us how they planned
To give a home to those who come to plow and till the land
So the Traynors and the McKennas the Kellys and the McMahans
They said farewell and then set sail never to return again
For 14 weeks they traveled through winter storm and gale
Until they reached Prince Edward's Isle and their new home Emyvale

But I'm third generation and my dreams have all come true
I'm back again in Monaghan among my friends in Trough
I have seen the Rocky Mountains looked down Niagara Falls
The little hills of Monaghan are the grandest sight of all
