- (continued from previous page)the old Irish ways.
Whenever we'll gather again.
And merry was the music that rang through the house,
Sure they would dance in the long evening's glow.

By that oldfashioned fireside at home.
Chorus

In the long winter's night as the turf logs burned bright.
Sure it's many's the story was told.
Of the men who had sought and the men who had fought,
And their names are now dearer than gold,
And the merry card party that sat round the hearth,
Sure they would play till the morning would come.
For in fancy I trace every kindly old face by that oldfashioned fireside at home
Chorus

I have tasted their every joy.(continues on next page)- Informant
