A Song (continued)
“On the seventh of November ¶ My chum and I waked out”
(continued from previous page)IIII
The tickets were beautiful,
In Gaelic they were wrote,
There were far fairer than the soupe I got,
To that I would pldge my oath,
The commitee were most disgrace,
They all stood at the door,
So low degree they reached I ever saw before,
For tricking and for planning
They are noted through and through,
When they will come here again,
We will come show them,
What deasent boys can do,V
There was a tribe down from the mountain,
With cotton overalls,
And they were good for nothing,
But mootching round the walls,
Such cheeky hag's for smokin fags,
Thir faces would stop a clock,
They wore transparent dresses,
They thought it was a ball,
But they were domed and disippointed,
When they arrived in the hall,VI
Shawls and coats were looted,
It was another big disgrace,(continues on next page)
