    There was a man there once and there was a fort near his house.

    (continued from previous page)
    came in the morning he caught him and he was arrested and sentenced to be hanged. The morning he was to be hanged he was carried on to the scaffold. He said he wanted one request to leave him wear his red cap before he would die. They gave it to him and he put it on. As soon as he did he said "high for Kerry". He flew up in the air and landed at home and he was never again caught.
