“Farewell, old Raheen I'm going to leave you, Where I spent many a pleasant day”
(continued from previous page)tear
For he was one I might say matchless
Meek, and obedient, modest and mild
I mean Mark Doyle from the pound of Wilton
May laurels crown this, darling child.V
And when I land in sweet New York Harbour
If Almighty spares me that place to see
I’ll drink a health to all road contractors
With whom I had many a pleasant day
May the best contractor be always victor
And Fortune favour him on his way
And may the lover of a flowing bumper
At adjourned sessions ever gain the day.
