“An dtuibhrá síos leit, a Dhia, an té a thug an bheartha sin dhúinn...”
(continued from previous page)ba mhaith liom thú a bheith grinn
Ach má phósann tú an bháirseach
Beidh aithmhéal go bráthach ort
Beidh do mhalaí gearrtha
Agus do chneadhacha ag deánamh braoin
Is nach deas an rud a bheith deágh shomplach
A Song
“Derryode a village, Oh its lately there I went.”
(1)Derryode a village, Oh its lately there I went.
The night was dark, I went into Mark.
And an hour or two, with him I spent.
He told me about, the cutaway.
That was right outside his thatch.
And he said it was like the goose
and gander before the goose begins to hatch.
(2)The next is Tommy Faddy, I am sure he wont like that.
He lets on to be a farmer, and comes out with silly chat.
He claims to be a boxer, and stands under daylight weight.
He clinches the Napoleons, and sends his punches straight.
I heard he bet Pat Baggott and if you were round the place, You would have to send for Tommy Burns.(continues on next page) - Collector
