“Come all ye lads and lassies and listen to me a while.”
(continued from previous page)He inquired with all his neighbours and heard Nellie passed the way.
So John came for his turkey which of course was only right
When Connell he took off his coat and wanted John to fight
Says John I would not fight an old man but if it was your son
I would fight (an old man) him to a finish for the turkey I have won.
But Nellie she came on the scene saying how cheap you want to steal
I want that turkey for myself. I have a nicer mouth than you
So now my boys in future if you take my advice
Do not depend on women though they seem very nice
And remember brave John Mitchell's case when ever you play the game
And have no truck with Nellie or you'll have your self to blame.(This song was composed by Thomas Coneally, Kiltebannen because one night all the boys played a turkey and when they had her played the woman of the house gave them a small turkey)- Collector
