A Song Composed about the Alcohol Factory (continued)
“Ye farmers all both great and small pray listen to my rhyme”
(continued from previous page)every farmyard.
The princely price of forty shillings shall pay you well indeed
So bring the pinks and banners and never mind the pig
And what a treat for farmyard stock
In a little while they'll be, no doubt as fond of stillage,
As the old wife's offer - ty.
Then hurry up my farmer friends and don't let the season pass.
One thousand eight hundred pounds we payed the Dutchman Mans
And after costing forty thousand how foolish it would be
To let him die of hunger and bankrupt poor Mac Entee.
