  1. A Song

    Here is Peter Horan he lived at Breevlea,

    A Song.
    Here is peter Horan he lived at breevlea,
    Things went aweful hard with him in fact the man was bare.
    So he just sent out a notice to his neighbor one and all,
    As how he's like their company one evening at a ball,
    In writing out the notices he was carefully to suggest to them that if they found a hat of his convenient to the door.
    The more they'd put into it whenever he requested them the better would the music be when battering the floor.
