A Local Song (continued)
“You men of Castledermot now listen”
(continued from previous page)And if I only liked to tell you boys
I could give him a queer sit down
He drew his flour from Hannons
And got it all on tick
And no mistake his Granny
She could bake it like a brickThen there is Samuel Cope
A trader too you know
He made his fortune with an old brown ass
About fifty years ago.Then there is William Giltrap,
How he got rich it makes me sick,
With his sods of turf and herrings,
And his monkey up a stick.- Collector
