  1. (continued from previous page)
    To see the neighbours all,
    And the moment that they will meet me,
    With a hug and kiss they will greet me,
    On a mossy bank they will seat me,
    Just beside the water fall.
    IV
    When the corn was fit for reaping
    Gall his eye was keeping, -
    On any youngsters leaping,
    Across the boundry wall
    While Centy Rorke was hooking,
    A trout just fit for cooking,
    We enjoyed a looking,
    From behind the boundry wall.

  2. Good people all attend and advice take from a friend,
    Leave your carriages and bicycles aside,
    And take a seat from John McGreal,
    Twill be safer I go bail in his two horse-brake
    to have a jolly ride
    Chorus
    Crack, Whack, Smack the car is starting,
    Hurry up be quick for goodness sake,
