“There was a man be the name of Quirke who lived down in Macmine.”
This man was supposed to be a fairy man
This man was a cobbler
He used to have an ould barrel down in a room.
When the people used to come with the boots he used to throw them down in the ould barrel and he used to say 'I don't know whether they'll do anything to-day or not." They used to have the greatest rackett in [?] barrel you ever heard, an they used to come up like new an the bill was always tied to them.
