T:Twis in the End of King James's Street
B:Joyce, P. W.; "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs"
R:song air
H:This air has clung to my memory from the dim days of childhood.  I
H:remember four lines of the song; from which it appears that it belongs to
H:Dublin, and commemorates some forgotten Dublin tragedy.
W:'Twas in the end of King James's Street
W:Young Square Brown and Miss King did meet.
W:.   .   .   .   .
W:She plunged into the Liffey that runs so deep,
W:And her own sweet life she ended.
