    cont'd.
    We'll shunt him from reading the Bible
    Like me he must handle the spade
    Chorus
    5th Verse
    So now to conclude and to finish
    And of all those you do hear me tell
    There is one I was nearly forgetting
    An Agent they call Popham Bell
    He Lives near the town of Tipperary
    His holdings are fine to be seen
    We'll make him to leave dear old Ireland
    And find refuge in Fiddlers Green
    Chorus.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
