  1. (continued from previous page)
    Jack Wesh composed the following. Upon a mountain brow I, heard a lowing cow,
    My senses are gone through, by a maiden fair.
    I direct her east and west and where 'er. the sun shines best,
    Till I return (wh) with her white milk laden,
    But when I looked above, to the villaage of my love,
    My grey eyes fill their streaming,
    And Oh! Mighty God of grace have pity on my case
    It is the dark girl left me dreaming.
    Pat Donovan Cordal could neither read nor write and he made the following Song.
    My Father's Servant boy.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
