Song (continued)
“We stated from the fair with spirit light and hearty”
(continued from previous page)Sure I thought I'd never tell of the mare that ran away.
V
Hold her in Mcarty cried stop her said McHugh
Sure we thought we'd shake to pieces as along the road we flew,
My head was spinning like top
My heart was in despair
Sure the devil himself was in the wheel behind Mcarty's mare.
