Local Songs - The Dole (continued)
“Now to tell you a story”
(continued from previous page)his men on patrol
To arrest poor O'Flatherty that lost all his Dole.
VIII
They brought in the doctor just me to console
And he knew by my pulse I had lost all my Dole.
IX
To forget all my troubles I went off to bed
And when I was there I dreamt I was dead
I was employed by the devil to shovel up coal
On the man that invested this damdevil Dole.
