Amhrán (continued)
“On the fourth day of November in the year of 1908”
(continued from previous page)We had Sergeant Turly there a merry
man was he,
And also Constable Coleman of the
Irish Constablery
We had William Ruddy there he
was a holy show buzy as a bee
And likwise our jolly plasterer his name was Paddy Magee
We had George Linsey and
Patrick Flanagan our boss
We had also another mason
their called Jack Magrath from
Ross

I had to promise Michael Nallen
I wouldn't say anything wrong
Now the job is over and we must
all go away
And send a word to Flannery
He is sure to get his pay.
