  1. Amhrán (continued)

    Felix my honey ¶ I have value and money ¶ A neat and compact little farm ¶ Nine acres of ground with fences all round

    (continued from previous page)
    And those great many things he had left me.
    He left me a hack, a reel and a new spinning wheel
    Tho' I earnestly, honestly got them,
    A large sack of corn, a cow with one horn,
    And a bed with ropes on the bottom.
    He left me five dozen white ties, five bundles of frieze,
    A knife and two blades that will open
    A large sack of oats with twenty guinea notes
    Five ties and five penny tokens
    He left me a large sack of wool
    With a tick and a sack full of superfine chaff from the barn
    He left me two griddles, two sieves and two riddles for sifting and saving my coin
