Song (continued)
“About long legged Dandy near”
(continued from previous page)shore till his body may stink
Scoll cows and magpies may pick out his eyes.
Bad sest to you Dandy that did not let it lie.

There is a girl in this town land, she can handle the stick
There is not an old chap in Drumbrath she can't lick
She tipped our Coyle upon the new line.
Saying Owen my boy will you want to keep time
For the time it will come, when we will have fun.
When young and old men must fight with the gun.
Song
