Old Songs (continued)
“On the green banks of the Shannon where Sheila was nigh”
(continued from previous page)How snug he slept in his old coat of gray.
And he licked me for kindness my poor dog Tray.V verse
Though my wallet was scant I remember his case
Nor refused my last crust to his pitifull face
But he died at my feet on a cold winter's day.
I played a lament for my poor dog Tray.VI
Where now shal I go so forsaken and blind
Can I find one to guide me so faithfull and kind. To my sweet nature village so far away
I can never return with my poor dog Tray.
