- I have a bit of money
And to part it I'm not willing,
If I had as much and half as more
I'd have an even shilling (4 d 4/5)As I went through yonder gap
I saw a mighty wonder,
Four and twenty wild geese
Tearing the earth asunder.I knew a man called by the name Mac DaireShowers and showers break the weather
Showers and showers take up the weather.Ash will break before it would uproot, ( by storm).
