“There was an old man long ago and he lived near the chapel and used to be there every Sunday.”
There was an old man long ago and he lived near the chapel and used to be there every Sunday. There was no choir in his young days nor until he was getting old. Then they got up a choir and one Sunday he went to Mass, after the first gospel the singing started. He jumped up and looked round. "God bless us" said he, "if this is the kind of thing that is going on here today it is as well for the people to leave this place and he went out.
