    “Come on says Mike Connor”

    (continued from previous page)
    Of the winner of Mike Connor's ass.
    We drank beer and whiskey the whole blessed night,
    Till we could not stoop down for our glass.
    What an elegant night at the windmill we had
    At the raffle of Mike Connor's ass.
    Song was composed by Joe Williams, Blennerville (60), but given by Mrs J O'Connor, Blennerville (60). Others say the song was composed by Matt Sweeney.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
