  1. A Song (continued)

    It was on a cold December's night.

    (continued from previous page)
    out they came from Birr also
    a musician in the corner whose name was Willie Roe.
    Tommie went to the Fivealley in search of all the boys
    In coming back he did not forget to call into Molloys
    When he reached his destination he was both tired and sore
    And he was treated like the convicts in the jail.
