    “Red Bob Hall we now will call”

    Red Bob Hall we now will call
    To hear the wireless set
    The wonderful invention
    Would surely make you sweat
    (2)
    He has up a pole upon my soul
    The moon can hardly pass
    He can hear the people praying
    Every Sunday in Corglass
    (3)
    Himself and Jim are God-fearing
    At least the people say
    But I greatly fear from what I hear
    They don't practice what they pray
