   (continued from previous page)

   When by chance I stood outside a cottage door.
   I just dropped in to light my pipe.
   As any lad might do,
   Going to or coming from the fair,
   When I spied a pretty colleen
   With two eyes of melting blue.
   Faith t'was really then my heart felt very queer.
   I loved to ramble down the old boreen
   When the hawthorn blossoms are in bloom
   And sit by the gate
   On the old mossy seat.
   And whishering to Kate Muldoon.

   Its nice to get up in the morning When the sun begins to shine, A four, or five, or six oclock, In the real old summer time But when the snow is snowing hard And smoking overhead. I'd like to get up in the morning But I'd rather stay in bed.
