- Jack Casey is my name as you all understand.
I pay very high for a small spot of land.
On last Monday morning to the land Lord I went.
To ask for sometime to pay up my rent.
When I went up to the door, I raped and to my great surprise,
And said where are you going and what do you want,
Why indeed cabbage head it is'ent you I want but your master
It was'ent long until the big man himself came
Your welcome Jack Casey have you got the rent and if you have not you will repent.
For on tomorrow morning my driver goes around for both pigs goats and asses.
He will have in the pound why indeed Jack you know
I stayed so long to trifle with you for money I want
The wheels of my carriage is broke down and their rugs are as rough as a two year colt.
I have three pairs of boots in the world for the winter here the are and nice ones too.
The grocer that supplies me with tea sugar wine brandy and all other liquid and I have not got a penny
for any of them.(continues on next page)- Collector
