The April sun it was shining,
Over land over hill and oer sea,
The Rinarue maid was declining,
When Davey drove down to Archree.

About "Kings Cow" or "Kate Kelly's hay,"
But the wheel of the horse-cart is broken
And it lies on the new road to-day.

Neither "Master McGrath" or "Hurrah",
The wheel of the Chrystler i'll try it.
And sent it all out to "Minya".

To the Rinarue maid far away.
But the wheel of the wagon is broken
And it lies on the new road to-day.(continues on next page)- Collector
