    'Twas well I remember, twas Nicholas night,
    To a hearty good supper they did me invite,
    A sup of sour milk that would fisic a snail
    Your stomach to put in disorder.

    I worked in Kilfeacle, I worked in Kilmore
    I worked in Knocklong and in Solohead more,
    With decent respectable farmers,
    Such woeful starvation i ne'er saw before
    As I got from the Galbally farmers.
