- (continued from previous page)Now, my dear friends I ask in conclusion
That you will tell me by tomorrow morn
Oh! tell me surely & tell me truly
Did Johnny Moore cut Beagin's corn?To - night I fear I won't rest contented
I'll lie often wakened by a fearful crash
For when I nod I'll think I'm on the sod
Where lame Johnny Moore made the sudden dash.
- The following on the same subject was made by Tommy Whelan - Dooskey Newbliss.The man that draws the creamy milk (Felix Beagin)
Will never more be poor
For the men that cut his corn
They call them Neill & Moore.They put the scythe on their shoulders
And down the road they went
And when they cut old Ireland
They sailed for a place called Kent.When they cut old England
They took another chance
And then they crossed the Channel
And landed in sunny France.(continues on next page) - Informant
