A Song (continued)
“My name is Thomas Kenny ¶ A man, who was ne'er afraid”
(continued from previous page)IV
"Tom" Casey he has started
The Paddock for to take
A hundred pounds, he has laid down
I fear your purse is weak.
Many a turkey & fat goose
You gave to Mistress Walsh,
Hoping by her interest,
The paddock you'd be left.
But now, alas, its gone from you
It grieves your heart full sore,
And leaves old Mick, upon his bed
His losses to deplore.N.B. There were two men from this parish in the Pope's Brigade - Thomas Kenny and - Corbett who resided in Ballintubber, Kilfinane, Co. Limerick.- Informant
