“As Paddy McGabe was dyong one day”

Another Song.As Paddy McCabe was dying one day
Father Molloy came to confess him
And Paddy prayed hard, that he'd make no delay
Only just hear his sins
And make haste for to bless him.2
Then tell me your sins, says Father Molloy
For I'm thinkin you've not been a very good boy
So late in the evening, says Paddy "I fear
It would trouble you such a long story to hear.
Besides you've 10 long miles over the mountain to go.
While the road I have to travel, is much longer you know.
So give me your blessin and get in the saddle
To tell all sins, my poor brain it would daddle
And the doctor gave orders to keep me so quiet
"Twould disturb me to tell all sins, if I try it"(continues on next page)- Collector
