A Song (continued)
“If ever you were born, a preacher for to be, you were born for misfortune, in every degree”
(continued from previous page)And those words to him did say,
"I'll give you three months' hard labour,
Up in the County Jail."So he was bobbed into prison,
Upon that very day,
And early next morning,
The peelers brought him away,
He asked of Sergeant Kelly,
A pint before he'd go,
And indeed Tom when you'll go to Cork,
You'll get your pint of coe."
A Song
“I tightened up my boots, my boyo”
