- Local Tradition
(Tracey's Public house was in Baldwinstown up to 35 years ago)
Rhymes.
Mr Tracey your rum is weak indeed,
My eyes they are my author,
Your stout is only single
Your whiskey is half water.Boasting Bill, you have drank your fill,
Yours jaws are thin and yellow
You are a disgrace to your father's place,
And your mother below in the hollow.Pat Jack you have a white back
You are white before and behind,
I think you should not be here to-night
When you have wind enough to grind.These rhymes were composed by
Joe Sutton of The Moor, Mulrankin.
