    Away round the road I hoisted my sabbs
    I thought I saw visions when passing the dales
    My nerves are all wrecked like a man filled with rum
    Im through with night walking
    For six months to come

    A Funny Story - Grace before Meals
    Once upon a time in Drumsna Church when the Bishop came to examine the children for Confirmation he asked some little boy to say Grace before meals.
    The boy didn't know how to say it and the Bishop said What does your father say before meals. The boy replied he says "Go easy with the butter children".
