- My father composed this with other boys when going to school in Kilkeedy. Bidneen Hehir lived in Kilkeedy. Co Clare. A month ago or may be more,

'Mikie Carr and Paddy Mack, that ploughman great of yore,
We had Paud O'Brien and Nappy Glynn
Not forgetting poor Bidneen.

And number four, the floor.(continues on next page)- Collector
