Fol de dol etc.III
Are you cryin' for the gandher?
You unfortunate ould goose
Dry up you tears, In frettin'
Sure sorra much the use.
Says the Saint "What will you give me
If the gandher I'll survive?"
Says the King "Ill be your servant
As long as Im alive"ChorusIV
"Ill cure him," says St Kevin
And Ill make him whole and sound
If you'll give me the taste of land
That the gandher will fly round"
"To be sure," says the King
Ill give you what you ask"

Of sticking to the taskChorus(continues on next page)- Collector
