A Song (continued)
“Ye Farmers of the Island come listen a while”
(continued from previous page)4
The other day I was passing the road.
I encountered the handsome black guard
With his knicker bockers and pencil in hand
He would give me xxx manure to bum up my land.
And one x and two x's and three x's and four
The name of Danny Williams right up Tullamore.
