    (continued from previous page)
    stuck a plough in
    But the Land Lord came you know
    And he laid the old home low
    And he left without a home
    poor Dan O Hara.
    III
    So if your not going to buy
    Sure another plan I'll try
    If your not going to buy from Dan O Hara
    Sure I'll sell them cheap and low,
    Wont you buy before you go
    |from a poor old ruined farmer
    Dan O Hara.
