“Nearly two - hundred years ago Owen-Roe O' Sullivan worked for a farmer in this district.”
(continued from previous page)When Norket saw him he asked him what he was doing or what business had he around his place. Owen replied.
I'm Owen Róe from Mónróe,
A boy of Seán Róe Hasset's,
And I brought this foxy sow,
To the foxy boar of foxy
William Norket.
All the Norket family were foxy, and he was delighted with the rhyme. He treated Owen very kindly and gave him the service of the boar without any trouble. Of course this rhyme was sung in Irish and then it had the real swing.
