  1. A shower in May is worth a load of hay.
    A shower in June is worth a silver spoon.
    A shower in July is not worth a butterfly.
    A rainbow at night
    Is the sailor's daylight
    A rainbow in the morn
    is the sign of a storm
    When I was young
    I had no sense
    I bought a fiddle for eighteen pence
    The only tune that I could play
    was over the hill and far away
    If I by chance shall lose this book
    And you by chance shall find it
    Remember Margaret is my name
    And Mc Donnel comes behind it
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
