    “I took the wrong hat. I am sorry for that.”

    (continued from previous page)
    As a gale it might rise
    And give you a surprise
    And take it away like the wild mountain boys.
    You can talk about cants and talk about hats.
    You can talk about smart boys and fools.
    It used to be Dick Tutty's but now it's Leo O'Tools'
    The composer of this song is Nicholas O'Toole Rathduffmore. Hacketstown. This man's hat was taken by a mistake at a dance by the composer of this song.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
