Song of '98 (continued)
“In the old marble town of Kilkenny”
(continued from previous page)That calls out to heaven for vengeanceThrough every blue vault of the sky
A Song
“Pat fell sick one a time and sent for the priest”
Pat fell sick one a time and sent for
the Priest
That dying he might have his blessing
at least
And to come with all speed he did humbly
implore him
To set him out right for the journey
before himII
The good Father, the summons did quickly
obey
And found Paddy alas in a terrible way
Fixed and wild were his looks
And his nose cold and blue.
And his countenance wore a cold church
yard like hueIII
The good father bid Pat to confess all
all his crimes(continues on next page) - Collector
