    A Song
    Ainm an Aithriseora: Mícheál Ó Griobhtha
    A Seoladh: Cul-Ruadh, Gleann Beithe
    A Aois: 50 bl.
    My name is Patrick Sheehan,
    And my years are 34.
    Tipperary is my native place,
    Not far from Galteemore,
    I came of honest parents.
    But now they are lying low.
    And many the pleasant days I spent,
    In the Glens of Aherlow.
    11.
    My father died I closed his eyes.
    Outside our cabin door
    The Landlord and the Sheriff too,
    Were there the day before,
    My broken hearted mother and sister three also.
