A Song (continued)
“Mick Magee lived in Ardee,”
(continued from previous page)"Change bags my friend my bag I'll lend
You dare'nt make resistance O'Twas in the bag they got the rag
They soon made fast the seizure O
Some stirabout rolled up in a clout
Some scraps of bread and bacon OPotatoes and bones about four stones
And herring newly taken O
Kilkenny too and a quarter to
And a pair of well worn breeches O
And that consisted as I am told
The whole of the poor man's riches O.
This song was told me by my uncle.
Mr Willie Clarke. (Aged 50 years)
