“On the fourth day of November in the year of 1908”
I was invited to a wedding
by the squire of this place
There was whiskey rum and
brandy, ginger beer, and wine
And all the lads and lassies
together did combine,
We had lovely Thomas Tomas there
the flower of them all,
He could play his melodian at
every concert and ball,
He was the rural postman and
the girls knew it too,
For it was early next morning I
heard he stripped a shoe,
We had Patrick Leneghan there he
was a holy show,
And likewise Thomas Moran from
the County of Mayo(continues on next page)
