1. A Song about the Eviction

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   "You feeling christians, I poray attend"
   "While I sing those verses I lately pended"
   The tears of angush down my cheeks did sail
   Since they killed my darlings in Kilkenny gaol.

   Thomas Larkin was my sons name
   From the town of Woodford his parents came.
   For being brave and noble in a neighbours cause,
   He was
   doomed to death by Cursetorys-laws

   In the town of Woodford my darling child
   Often roamed in freedom through the meadows wild
   The Crow-bar faction one morning came
   to evict some tenants to the agents shame.

   And noble Tommy though a quite boy
   Saw the Bailiff throw down each house with joy
   He saw a Bailiff give a child a blow
   My Tommy darling, soon led him low.

   For this noble action of a living son
   It was into prison they quickly run
   Far away from his parents dear
   They killed my boy in the prison here
