Local Songs (continued)
“I watched last night the rising moon,”
(continued from previous page)The moon behind the hill,
it brought me back a mothers love
i prayed her from her home above,
To gaurel her only child;
It brought me across the wave,
to love in memory still,
it brought me back my Kathleen's grave,
The moon behind the hill.
Local Songs
“You want to see the big parade”

You want to see the big parade,
There won't be any bugle played,
Sad to say no war to-day(continues on next page) - Collector
