    (continued from previous page)
    Saying wont you come for the bells are ringing and the girls are singing
    And the fiddle and the flute
    Ppaying rum dum dum
    Its freezing its teezing there mash and free for all.
    We have plenty of fun.
    If you like to come to night to Jack Flynn's ball
    Martain Kelly sat in the corner with a very pleasant smile.
    And he says to Joe Mc Keane sure we are sons of Eireann Ile
    Thomas Heffernan sat in side the door with a face like Mack Mc Quaide
    He and many others half penny's never paid.
