    “Bhí madra Mr Barrett ann agus madra Mr Payne ann.”

    (continued from previous page)
    The song is an account of a great fox hunt that took place in this parish about 80 years ago. Mr Barrett was a land Lord's agent and Mr Payne was another. Mr Barrett and Mr Payne being the landlord's men of course had the best dogs.
    The song explains the kind of times they were. An ordinary man could not have a bit. The song is a joke too.
