“I dreamt I was dead and to Heaven did go.”
83.
I dreamt I was dead and to Heaven did go
Where did you come from they wanted to know
I am from Glenough, they all did stare
Then in said St. Peter you are the first from thereIf Tom Moore was a poet ever so sweet
Walking all day without boots on his feet
And sleeping every night without blanket or sheet
He wouldn't give a damn where the bright waters meet (no title)
“My name is Paddy Leary from a spot called sweet Tipperary.”
84
My name is Paddy Leary
From a spot called Sweet Tipperary
Tis the heart of all the girls
Im a thorn in
But before the break of morn
Sure tis they'll be all forlorn
When I'll start for Philadelphia in the morn.
