    "What did I do on you?" and when he said that he was on his horse again.
    In the year eighteen thirty nine came a big storm which was followed by a big tide. This tide came up to Renville and up to Oranhill on the other side. It stayed for a week and people were picking fish for a week.

  2. It was in nineteen sixteen
    On Easter Monday fair
    Our Galway boys did mobilize
    And for battle did prepare.
    With Captain Mellow's by their side
    He led our Galway men
    Saying, "Now unite, and we will fight
    For Irelands cause again"
    The news spread all round Galway
