    “You natives of Crosspatrick ¶ If your hurry is not too great”

    (continued from previous page)
    Pat Lawrence from the Dromeend
    She was sold again to a travelling man
    That was going from door to door
    They drove her down through Thurles town
    And the tinkers getting drunk
    She strayed home to Crosspatrick
    And got drowned in a pump.
