* '''"Kitty of Coleraine":''' an Irish folksong, believed to have been written as a poem by Edward Lysaght (1763-1810) It was published as a song in 1810. Its first verse goes: As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping, With a pitcher of milk from the fair of Coleraine, When she saw him she stumbled, the pitcher it tumbled, And all the sweet buttermilk watered the plain. Oh! What shall I do now, 'twas looking at you now, Sure, sure, such a pitcher I'll ne'er meet again 'Twas the pride of my dairy, Oh, Barney McCleary, You're sent as a plague on the girls of Coleraine. * '''Lane:''' a river in New Hampshire, USA * '''Butterman:''' butterrmilk *''' Coleraine:''' a large town near the mouth of the River Bann in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland [[Category: Rivers]] [[Category: Songs and lyrics]] [[Category: Geography of Ireland]]
