  1. An Old Song (continued)

    On the twenty ninth day of October

    (continued from previous page)
    And was shot right through the brain.
    A fervent little prayer will say
    To take poor John to rest
    And mingle with the blest.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. What goes up when the rain comes down
    (Umbrella)
    There was a man of Adams race,
    He had no human dwelling place,
    Neither Heaven earth nor hell.
    Or any other place that human being could dwell. (Noah's Ark)
    I had a little cow with her back to the wall
    She'd eat all the spadac
    From here to Donegal (A fire.)
    A wee wee pony gray and slain
    A long white flowing tale on him
    A man with brassy hood
    Driving him right through the wood.
    (A tailor sewing)
