    Rosary in Irish.
    They used to sing at wakes long ago. They used to make stacks out of straw, such as for boys and girls that were great. First they would twist a bit of straw in a form of a stack, then they would ask. Who built this stack?, some boy would shout, such a boy, and another boy would shout such a girls. "Who forked it?" somebody would say the father of the girl. They made a great job of it. Someone would say "Where was it built?" in such a haggard, and they used to have great fun. It is dying away at present.
