Creggan White Hare

The "Creggan White Hare" is an Irish folk song written by James Molloy. It was first recorded by Paddy Tunney in 1944.

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.
