- (continued from previous page)And a threepenny loaf sure that was their payThe gangsters to mention, I think its no sin
Armstrong Robert I'm going to begin.
He is the hero that does them adore,
He never goes with them, with less than a score
And when he goes out to warn his men
He'll tell them old stories or otherwise sing
He'll tell them old stories about this and that
And the best of all stories, about an 'auld' cat.From Gort-a-more comes another old gleak
With a stick in his hand that would make a cow's stake.
His men in number never beat three
And he goes by the name of old Paddy Bree.Red Ezel Mac Morrow, he comes with such force
If you heard him speaking you'd think he was hoarse
Its on all our heroes, he throws a great slur
But the devil may take him to Ballin-na-gore (near Killargus) At Lackey Trowers there is a great rock
One day to the bishop it gave a great shock
He stumbled and fell, and he rolled pretty well
And says he to John Frier "We'll blast it to hell".(continues on next page)- Informant
