- On Christmas morning early
When the snow is on the ground,
The Band of Griguenamanagh
Will parade the streets around;
You'll hear the drum go rum-tum-tum
And the cornet sweetly play
That people, all both great and small
May know 'tis Christmas DayII
They'll waken up the echoes
As they pass along the street
They'll waken up the sleepy heads
To hear their music sweet
They'll play from Ryan's corner
To foment the priests hall door
But they won't wake up the good P. P.
For he'll be up before.III
My lazy friend take warning
And get up for goodness sake(continues on next page)- Collector
