   Jack Drumm being the "ganger" - and the steward was Jim Connor
   On those bare mountain sides the thing looked so strange.
   From our habitation, from friends and relations,
   We all got conscripted from the Labour Exchange.
   vi
   I pity the face of poor Lacy, the blacksmith,
   As he tramped the long road to the Exchange in Tralee,
   He kissed his fond wife saying don't worry poor Maggie,
   O where is Fred Crowley our local TD
   vii
   Poor Maggie went off to the town. of Killarney.
   From that to Kilcummin to Crowley's abode.
   She told him she saw on her way and she coming,
   Some famished poor dole-men at work in the road.
   viii
   Alas she told him there were men around Cordal,
   At work in those bye-roads and going far away,
   With their lunch in their school-bags flying over the shoulder,
   Leaving their homes at the dawn of the day.
   ix
   I am going to conclude and finish these verses.
   And lave down my pen, for I think it is time,
   When the argument arose, it would surely remind you.
   Of Daniel O Connell and Biddy O Brian.
