  1. Old Songs (continued)

    In the month of October contented and sober I sat by the fire of a cold rainy day.

    (continued from previous page)
    I am now mother naked like the day I was born,
    All my clothes they were won by the old Pedagogue.
    So come all you young fellows that are youthful and airy,
    And are fond of gambling and danger don't see,
    But remember the tinker and old Master Sheehan,
    For it's now I have told their whole pedigree.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
