    Here comes I wee Devil Doubt. If you dont give me money I'll sweep you all out. Money I want money I crave, If you don't give me money I'll sweep you all to your grave.
    All silver no brass, bad halfpence wont pass.
    Money I want money I crave, If you don't give me money I'll sweep you all to your grave.
