A Song
“Last Sunday evening the gentlemen came to bon, ¶ with their watches all glistening and them walking all along,”
A Song
Last Sunday evenng the gentlemen came to bon,
With their watches all and glittering and them walking all along.
They walked until they came unto the pridge, and bharles james he got a loy and began hocking up a ridge.
The clay it is too heavy and the proty's will rot.
And bon he soon got sulky and says they will not.
They'll grow up big pratys and four of them will give a man his fill.
they arent like the pratys that go grow on Killargue hill,
bon Mcternan is a low stout fellow he isnt very smart,
he is forty eight broad inches and he would pull a cart,By Brigid McPartlin
