  1. (continued from previous page)
    I hope I've done no harm,
    Long life to Patrick Finlay who supplied them with the barn
    There worthy of a privelage for music they're the boys
    When they start to work they'll toil like Turks, and help to roof Molloys

    To conclude and finish the Bawns needn't begin again
    As they blew them down a week later at a meeting in Ballytrain,
    They're a credit to all Ireland, wherever they may go,
    They recieved the right instructions from their teacher Tom Mac Geough
