    “My name is Paddy Leary from a spot called Tipperary ¶ The land that gave me wealth, I am not scorning”

    (continued from previous page)
    I left a girl behind me when I first crossed o'er the briny
    And I'm hoping that she's still as sweet and charming
    And I'm little whether
    It be fine or stormy weather
    When the priest joins us together in the morning.
