  1. (continued from previous page)
    And keep clear of all the rocks.
    And you will always have tobacco.
    In your ould tobacco box.
    3 Save the hay while the sun shines.
    4 It is a long road that there is not a turn in.
    5 When you are in a glass house dont throw stones

  2. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Health is better than wealth.
    Better late than never.
    Fools rush where angels fear to tread.
    Where ignorance is a bliss tis folly to be wise.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    Whats small is sweet.
    Noise is not authority.
    To day is your opportunity tomorrow is the other fellows.
    The windy day is not a day for thatch.
    Every month in the year curses fair February.
    A wet and windy May, fills the barns with corn and hay
