Old Song
“Mary of sweet Wexford town...”
Old song
Mary of Sweet Wexford town. Fare for well old Erin my own native said. Where I have felt my whole labor and tail. Where I have spent the whole winter round all for you lovely many of sweet Wexford Town. Me foot is on the ocean, me foot is on the land. With a troubled mind on the deck I do stand. Turning all around the tears do flow down. All for you lovely many of sweet Wexford town. When Idis Land in home foreign whose with no me but many whom I do adore when I'd learn money I'd return with renown [?] both will get worried in sweet Wexford Town.
