Song (continued)
“At ten to the minute the raffle began”
(continued from previous page)Jim Kenny adjourned the raffle for tea
He says to his Mrs bring the women down all
I can't see my way to give the men tea at all.
IX:
When the feast it call off twas a wonderful scene
There was soda cake, barm brack, ham and ice cream
Ned Cremean's two daughters and their cousin made three
And through their influence Jack Doyle he got tea.
X:
The Guards of Kiltegan that very same night
Held up a young couple for having no light
They said to those couple we'll let you go free
For we know you are going to Jim Kenny's spree.
