A Song
“David Fleming to his sledge did say, We are the boys to clear the way and give the mountainy boys fair play.”
David Fleming to his sledge did say.
We are the boys to clear the way and give the mountainy boys fair play.
And likewise Johnny Tobin.II
Billy Bán came down with his long leather lip.
He rapped at the table for praties and dip.
He had'nt the stomack for white bread and tea
But he'd rather the leather coats three times a dayIII
The men from the mountain came down with the spades.
To dig out the praties for Johnny Mac Bane.
But who was among them but Crowley and Keane and long legged Ahern to show them the way.- Collector
