  2. The Wreck of the Ferry Boat

    Sean Hanly from Kilteevan came,
    The day before the fair;
    And with him came his "better part"
    To help him sell their ware.
    A man of prophecy he was,
    A cooper he by trade,
    And with his dame he brings along
    The ware which they had made.
    He had barrels, casks and hogshead,
    And churns not a few;
    He had hoops and coolers noggins, pails
    And churn-dashes too.
