   ould beggarman by the name of ONeill who kept coming there "along" (They never use the word "always" here, but "along" - "tis raining "along" etc)
   Looking to put up there at night, They got so tired of him that they told Sutton about it and they asked him to do something.
   Sutton wrote out a verse and pinned it up on the barn door where the tramp used to stay.
   "Here lies the body of Wm. ONeill
   With a short leg and a skut tail
   He begged from Limerick around by Cairn
   And was murdered at night in Pat Crosbie's Barn"
   The devil another tinker came near the place after that. They thought it wasnt a safe place to stay.
