  1. (continued from previous page)
    But on the road returning home,
    Just at the hill of Cullen,
    Some spectre, whether ghost or gnome,
    In accents gruff and sullen,
    Said, "why do you with evil fate,
    Pursue this lonely road so late,
    When mortals should be sleeping?
    Though your might throw a hundred weight
    And fling it through an iron gate;
    If you're caught here again so late,
    Good cause you'll have for weeping.
    Composed by:- Edmond Murphy (R.I.P.) Chicago
    Died in 1926 aged 82 years
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
