- (continued from previous page)Said Johnny to himself it’s no great toil,
To save the life of Charlotte Boyle.Chorus :-
Eddie Byrne was stout and young,
He ran off with Peggie Quinn,
And when she shouted help,
The tide put her up on the upper shelf.Chorus :-
Patrick Brogan was the best of the spree,
He nursed a sow on every knee,
Willie Morrow was in the town,
He saw no way for to get round,
He faced the bridge so the sergant held him,
Stop! My man for the tide is swelling.Chorus.
Said Willie to Ellen you did not do anough, [sic]
For you could not save my cart of turf,
Said Ellen to Willie it will be only a chance,
If the sea has not drowned Hughy the Chant.Chorus :-- Collector
