Cloghamon Mill is a song dating from around 1815 in County Wexford, Ireland. It describes a mill built at Clohamon near Newtownbarry (now Bunclody).
The mill was said to be on the River Slaney, about a mile below Bunclody. A cotton mill is known to have built at Clohamon here from around 1835, along with later a woollen mill. The song may refer these, or the extensive water mills thought to have existed in the area prior to the establishment of the 1835 mill. Mills were prominent in the area at the time, as the local population was mainly employed in mills in the 1830's.
The below verses are said to part, but not all of the song. The absent verses are said to be about:<blockquote>"the attention of the neighbouring gentry to the wants of the poor; and the poet, relaxing the strain, kept up to this point on his imagination, makes a rather commonplace conclusion to his ode, which we are obliged to omit, having, as we trust, supplied sufficient data to determine the measure of our bard's genius".</blockquote>
The recorded song with arrangement by traditional singer Paddy Berry feature the below lyrics.
The first recorded lyrics (below) were published in 1863. The same were lyrics were recorded by folklorist Patrick Kennedy, which he heard in The Duffrey, County Wexford before publishing them in 1869.
