  1. (continued from previous page)
    On his head there grew no hair
    Says he it lookes so devilish funny and be gobs its lookes so queer
    To give the blue shirts land let them take It if they dare.
    In comes Micheal Brogan
    Says he “why” “what” and “why”
    I say now as I said and I am a long time thinking
    We want more land and bog and a rise in my old age
    We are a party in our selves.
    We like to be well fed
    We like good dry potatoes and large over cakes of bread.
