Song (continued)
“Song composed by a teacher, Edward J. Murphy late of Curraghroe school, which was sung at a concert to provide funds for the seating of the local church.”
(continued from previous page)III
Here's to your Soggart Aroon, Boys,
Who knows how to get to your hearts
He'd tell you off very soon. Boys
So play up the game, Act your parts
He's as gentle a priest as one meets boys,
But he's out for the good of his church
So, go ahead, earn your seats. Boys.
You'll no longer stand up in the porch.
