    (continued from previous page)
    The skin grew thick upon them
    And the bones they have them cut
    (6)
    The last boy I hired
    May the Lord reward Dan
    One call is all he ever got
    From Brady of Killann
    (7)
    I was everyday expecting
    For Jack Connell and the van
    For to take me from the villian
    In the parish of Killann

    Corlurgan farm is far away
    I have to go to milk each day
    And sometimes have to rake the hay
    Says poor old Jemmy Gargan
    (2)
    I chased them on to Margret gate
    We landed there at half past eight
    My feet in a shocking state
    Says poor old Jemmy Gargan
    (3)
    I went to the fair at Mullingar
