Local Songs
“Forsake of health I took a walk, last week at early dawn”
1
Forsake of health I took a walk,
Last week at early dawn,
I met a jolly turf-man,
As I went my way along.
The kindest conversation,
Passed between him and me,
And soon I got acquainted
With the turf-man from Ardee.

We chatted then so freely,
As we joged along the road,
That he says my ass is tired,
I want to sell my load.
For I have got no refreshments,
Leaving home you see,
And I am wearied out of travelling(continues on next page) - Collector
