“This poem was made by an old railway ganger. When the Donegal railway was being made.”
(continued from previous page)V
The jury will read his verdict,
And the judge his sentence pass.
He will be tried and then found guilty,
For these fort pounds at last.VI
Come all ye railway labourers,
High warning take by me.
Never work with Miley Synnod,
Or you h will betray.VII
Now take this as a token,
As I have said before.
So farewell to Miley Synnod,
We’ll never see him more.- Collector
