And he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked six pence
Upon a crooked style.
He bought a crooked cat
Who caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a crooked little house.
x There was a fair in Turloughmore
And a dance in Muray's floor
The same night they cut the tail of Paddy Rose
The building was started
And the foundation carted
And Seán a'Bhrother's broken hearted
Says the Sean-Bhean Bhocht.
xi Carrolls hut is six foot from the ground
And it's timber all around.
He brought the land from Michael Carr
And so they ahd a bar

And kill all the thrushes, then lie in the Cloboo bushes.(continues on next page)
