The next boy arrived the truth to leave down,
Was brave Jonny Callaghan from Gilbertstown,
Saying my head will get bald and my beard will get gray,
If I don't have a chat with (a ma) the Pride of Lickblae.3.
Joe Sherwood made answer saying Jonny thats true,
But I dont think the girl thinks much about you,
And I know very well you will pay for your work,
And you never need go near the bog of Kinturk,
Jonny made answer saying Joe then excuse,
It was Mitcheal Gains and old Jimmy Hughes,
For I saw them together on Christmas day,
And they drinking good health, to the Pride of Lickblae.(continues on next page)- Collector
