I have a bit of money And to part it I'm not willing, If I had as much and half as more I'd have an even shilling (4 d 4/5) As I went through yonder gap I saw a mighty wonder, Four and twenty wild geese Tearing the earth asunder. I knew a man called by the name Mac Daire Showers and showers break the weather Showers and showers take up the weather. Ash will break before it would uproot, ( by storm).
