    (continued from previous page)
    And all the county jumpers
    But now they are getting loose
    The booper and the carpenter
    And the man that makes the mats
    And all the pretty girls
    With their dolly wearing hats
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.

    “May God bless and save us,”

    Obtained from:

    Pollea
    Williamstown, Curragh West
    Dunmore, Co. Galway
    Mary God bless and save us
    And keep us all alive
    There's ten of us for dinner
    And not enough for five
    But my uncle died the other day
    He left me all his riches
    A feather bed, a wooden leg, and a pair of leather breeches
    A coffee pot without a spout, a jug without a handle
    A tobacco box without lid and half a farthing candle
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
