On this page
- (continued from previous page)He has cast off all allegiance,
To his holy church and creed,
He is now an earthly demon,
With envious grabber's greed.
But, one day yet, he may repent,
Perhaps, when it is too late,
So all thro' Ballinaglera,
Boys! together agitate.
For he's a public enemy,
And the landlord's dirty tool,
And public wrath will strew his path,
Let him be knave or fool.
Now, in the end, I do intend,
For him to make it hot,
HIs bag be always empty,
And nothing in his pot!
Supply no stuff ye Dowra men,
Or local shops around,
For you'll bear the weight of Tom Brady's fate,
If guilty, you'll be found.
