- Twa's over Crehane-side
There was a dyin'g woman,
She delayed for a while when she heard we were comin' ;
We listened with joy
To the prayers she was hummin'
Glory O ! Glory O! to the Kyle lads brave baud.Some fell on the way side,
Some courted a stranger
Tom Ryan he told us our case was a failure
She was not dead I dont know what delayed her.
Glory O ! Glory O ! to the Kyle lads brave baud.Though being disappointed,
we called into Miss Brennan's
We there had some tea
And sweet cake up from Jenning's
Glory O ! Glory O ! to the Kyle lads brave baud.Tis a long time ago
Since we waked Pat and [Moilly?] ;
Like wise [John?] and James
Not forgetting poor Kitty.
To miss that great wake(continues on next page)- Collector
