    The Barley.
    Mr Hearne is a nice man.
    As nice as can be found.
    He bought a lot of Barley,
    From the neighbours all around.
    He gave them sixteen shillings
    And they thought it would be a pound,
    And now he is giving tickets
    And they dont know what they mean.
    But I heard that he was giving them.
    A free run to Dublin on the train.
    11
    Big David O Connor he is sure to make a seat
    But Paddy Croke he made a run to Ross
    And he heard he was too late.
