A Song (continued)
“The Summer it was warm in the year of ninty eight”
(continued from previous page)"F aix man", says James, "the ass is trained to sing Jemmy from Grousehall
Its when they had them covered they went down to the house
And every one there was sitting there as quiet as a mouse.
They were not long quiet till Tom cane in soon,
Says they here's the boy it wont annoy to lilt a merry tune.
So the lilting it was started and the dancing it begun.
The Willsons came down from the hill to take stock of all the fun
The Vance's from the other side the Mitchels two or three
And the devil would'nt beat it we had a rousing spree.
