“Long ago an old woman went around with besoms.”

A beggarman went around here long ago and he was called "Jack the Ripper". Another old man was called "Jack the Skinner". Jack Kelly was his real name butyhe went around looking for old goats. He used to skin them and he sold the skin afterwards. Jack the Skinner is still alive.- You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
