    Williamson and Larry Wax
    we must congratulate
    For Williamson he seens afraid
    to mix up with the rest.
    He spends his life with his dear wife
    Miss Craven from the west.
    There is two men while I have my pen
    their names I will put down.
    And that is Ned and Paddy Mckenna [?]
    whose fame is well gone roung
    The are strong roads contractors
    and takes large fields of grass
    And they man that reaps the benefit
    is the Minister of Corglass
    you's all know James Mcaffrey
    who over looks Skeagh lake
    He is always in a hurry this world to
    over take
    He is as wise he could advise
    Tim-Healy he could dictate,
    He is the smartest fellow
    that lives on Skeagh estate.
    Heres to Tomson and Macullagh
    I think they are well met
    Although they are long Maried
    they have no family yet
