“In Ballymaker I was tenderly reared”
The following is a song sung by the people about a man who lives in the country. He always puts his hands in his pockets, and he never washes his face.
"Did you ever see Paddy and he going down the street,
He's the funniest old fellow that ever you did meet,
Some say that he is queer cause he never, never keeps
His hands out of his pockets and he walking down the street."Songs
“Did you ever see Paddy and he going down the street, he's the funniest old fellow that ever you did meet,”
