    “In 1819 there was a wedding held one day”

    Paddy O'Carls wedding
    In 1819 there was a wedding held one day
    Near to the town of famed Roslea
    I'll tell you all that I saw there,
    Such rebels came from Callamore,
    About eleven and twenty score,
    Of old and blind and deaf and dumb,
    All dressed in gaudy fine and gay.
    In comes Jane with lusty ride,
    With a bony blossom by her side.
    Of flax and tow she'd got three stone.
