  1. Another Song (continued)

    As Paddy McGabe was dyong one day

    (continued from previous page)

    "Well," says Paddy McCabe, 'tis a very hard case.
    With your Reverence and Heaven, I'm content to make 'pace,'
    But with your Reverence and Heaven
    I wonder ochon
    Who'd think of comparing
    that blackguard Malone.?
    But since I'm hard pressed
    and that I must forgive
    I forgive if I die, but as
    sure as I live!
    That ugly blackguard I will surely surely destroy
    And now for your blessing
    sweet Father Molloy!
    Mary Gorman (pupil)
