Amhrán (continued)
“Felix my honey ¶ I have value and money ¶ A neat and compact little farm ¶ Nine acres of ground with fences all round”
(continued from previous page)And the wife of a bold tenant farmer.
"Oh!" he says "since the devil has cove over us all,
Not one penny rent at this time we can call
But the month of October we will settle you all
And you will have the high road for your garden"
"Oh! you Kaffir" the bold tenant's wife, she replied
"Our National Land League
It will pull down your pride
You're as bad as your old Dad, that lived the other side,
We are able to breathe each storm since we joined
The National Land League on Last New Year's day
I know in my heart we're not going astray
As the clergy are with us we will carry the day"(continues on next page)
