  1. A Song

    YE men of Lugnaskeehan where ever that ye be.

    A Song.
    Ye men of Lugnaskeehan where ever that ye be. I hope ye will draw mean and listen into me. It's all about a Fein blub that was started 3 months ago.
    But sure they'll pay the tally like after Griffith now also.
    It was headed by a Alteen man but hell not prove with fame.
    I'm afeared he's onely cadding them like General Sean McNeil.
    I met little Felix and he did shake my hand. He was dancing like a monkey and he's going to train a band.
    He walks so terrible cool, if he had wings he'd fly to Kaser for home rule.
    Kelly another rebel and another from the pit.
    Below in blerkin Parlown together they did and sit.
    For bread and tea they tans for all was made up on the sinn Fein blub.
    James John swore him on Vice President to be.
    And him real bad in Politice as ye may plainly see.
