“I'll sing of a lass and her name It was Nell...”
(continued from previous page)While Nellie was likely her sides for to burst
And his head in the window stuck tight in the window, Twas the nicest wee window that ever I saw.On hear the noise Granny jumped to the floor
And seizing the poker she ran to the door.

Shure another like that would have broke his back-bone
The window gave away and the panes were all broke
And Johnny made off with the sash around his throat
The girls did shout and the children did squeal
And the dogs and the stones came bay at his heels.

Johnny got up for to set things all right.(continues on next page)- Collector
