  1. (continued from previous page)
    When Ryder went to his Lordship, and said the mill did fail
    His Lordship told him to go be damned, or he'd send him into
    And now my Lord says Ryder, I fear it is no use
    I gave it plenty powder, and a long yard of the fuse
    My name is Paddy Fallon, I live near the mill
    Ryder offered me two and six, to under mind the Kiln
    I've been a little witty as everybody knows
    I'll have nothing to do, with that mill in Gamahoe
