- (continued from previous page)married to a man with a wooden leg And one day someone asked Billy was Lizzie married. And Billy said she got married to a half wooden thing. Lizzie lived with him for a few year's. Then she left home and went selling things again. Billy was very fond of tea. When anyone wanted to hunt him they would put down a pot ot oaten porridge. When billy saw the porridge he used to go of because he did not like. One day Billy went to Athlone and he came home the railway line and got killed by the train at Garrary, Caste Bridge.
*When Lizzie heard it she said he will go there no more. So that was the end of end of Billy.*My own hearing of this last sentence went like this
"When (Lizzie) Eliza heard how Billy was killed, she said "Well, that'll learn him again"?
