- (continued from previous page)from Connemara
With matches in his hand
In the frost and snow I stand
So tonight I'm left alone and broken-hearted.Chorus"Seo a Chuisle Gheal mor Chroidhe
Won't you buy a box from me
and you'll have the prayers of poor
old Dan O'Hara.Sure it's fifty years and more
Since i sowed acres by the score,
The finest land you ever
Ran a plough through.
But the landlord as you know
made our poor home go
So tonight I'm left along broken hearted.
Soe a chuisle gheal mo croidhe, etc., etc.It was in the year of ninety-four(continues on next page)- Collector
