Now I think on the days that forever are gone,
Of the friends that have left me and left me alone,
Of the time fast approaching when I'll feel no more pain,
When old Paddy Deighan will get young again,
IV
Now I take my last leave with this profound
And with cauleen in hand I bow down to the ground
Neither summer or winter or sunshine or rain,
Will ever bring back Paddy Deighan again,
Fare you well, fare you well.The above is another of Master Calvert's.
