- (continued from previous page)Think of the good old times we had at the Irish jubilee.Told by: Margaret Tully, Raherolosh, Kilmovee.
Written by Mollie Doherty, Ballyglass.
- Hoddy doddy with a big black body and a round flat hat What is that? a pot.
A flock of white sheep on a red hill here they fo there they go now they stand still? Teeth in your gums.
Round the house round the house all heads down? The nails of your shoes.
I have a little sister they call her pee peep. She wad the water so deep deep deep. She climbed the mountain so high high, and my little sister has a very bright eye? A star. - Collector
