Ballinasloe, Co. Roscommon.
Age 12 years, Farmer's son.Little Tommy Tucker
Sings for his supper
What shall we give him
Meat, bread and butter
How shall he eat it

I am sure he will relish
York shire for flavour
Sweet remembrance for the past,
Kind thoughts for the present,
Good wishes for the future.
