A Song
“In the month of April 1908 there”
In the month of April 1908 there was a spree at Costello's
Before Lizzie did migrate.
Martin McNeill had been the captain
And he travelled far and near
Looking for subscribers to buy a barrel of beer
The baintreabach in the corner.
And he sitting like a dote
And ere to his two shoulders like Harry Kelly's goat
A quarter barrel of porter.
A case of lemonade.
The china down from Aughrim and the cake that Mary.
This was composed by a man named Tom Murphy
