    (continued from previous page)
    Scrap of a very old hymn which used to be sung by "Biddy the Sulphur" - Mrs Foran over sixty years ago in Lisdoonvarna.
    "Óch óch ín" " a dubhairt na Maughdine
    Nuair a chonnaic sí an leanbg
    Thuas ar an gCros Naomhtha
    "Ó Nach truagh Mo leinbh!"
    !Is óc-hone go duach a dú"
    "ós Aillilia" a dubhairt sí ----
    The air is traditional and sounds just like solemn Gregorian Chant as sung in Masses for the Dead
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
