The famous Michael Tracy,
On the Hill of Muff does stand;
He says, "We will have to get work,
To support the labouring man."II
"Districk labour is at hand,
I am afraid we will have to fight;
To bring men over from Drumgoon,
It surely is not right."III
We will raise a mighty army
And fight it like a man,
We'll drive away the foreign fray
And hunt the cruel clan."IV
When Mickey saw the foreigners,
He knew the job they'd spoil
Along the lanes and archways
He marched the sons of toil.(continues on next page)- Collector
