Lyr Req: Lovely Bushmills / Dear Old Bushmills

I'm looking for the lyrics of a North Antrim Song, which I believe is called either: 'Lovely Bushmills' or 'Dear Old Bushmills'.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Dick

Not much luck with Google. This Website (click) makes mention of two songs, "The Bushmills Song" and "Dear Old Bushmills," but does not provide lyrics for either. I had no luck in our Irish Songbook Index, either.

I'm a Tullamore Dew fan myself...surely that one has a song?

Ha Ha TJ.

Of course this song is about the TOWN of Bushmills, not the Whiskey!

Although the Whiskey is well worth singing about, too!

Don't think I've ever come across it, sung or in print. Best bet is to try the Irish Traditional Music Archive - which I may get a chance to do next week.
