- Banada Lace Song
In 1904 the lace began
As every one does know.
The ladies all, big and small
Came here for sweet mayo.
They start at 10 in the morning
And work there until 3
When they come out they laugh and shout
And off home to their tea.Every monday morning
To the lace room they will go.

And needles in their hands.When the ladies arrive home
The first word they will say.(continues on next page)
