    (continued from previous page)
    What need I make a moan,
    I'll go my way and draw my pay,
    And smoke my pipe alone,
    Human heart must know its part,
    Though bitter be its load,
    So God be with old Ireland,
    And the Old Bog Road.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
