(continued from previous page)Paddy dear you're welcome here from Cappamore so gay.
Yourself and Jim the stones to break in Blain so near Athea.
The carrageen which once had been a hill of old renown.
And since you came her with delight
Tis quickly tumbling down.The grant has come and gone and still it will not be forgotten
And Pat and Jim will come again the stones to break and rattle
At the call of the drum the men will come
And there they'll take their stand
In the Carrageen which once had been a hill so high and grand
But now instead a water bed which never cease to flow
When the work is out, the men will shout
For the dole again we'll goThe farmers too, they'd never do
Till they got the job in Blain(continues on next page)- Collector
