Creggan White Hare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Creggan White Hare" is an Irish folk song written by James Molloy. It was first recorded by Paddy Tunney in 1944.[1]
The song describes coursing events that took place in Creggan, County Tyrone. After Barney Conway failed to catch the hare while out hunting, he joins a group of sportsmen, "with pedigree greyhounds", to hunt the hare, who eludes them.
