    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 there
    If 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
